HALL (WILLLIAM), printer in London, 1598-1614. Son of William Hall of Lillisfield, co. Salop, clerk. Apprentice to John Allde { ALLDE, John (1531 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07935 › } for seven years from January 28th, 1577, and admitted to the freedom of the Company on February 3rd, 1583/4 [Arber, ii. 73, 690]. His first work appears to have been an edition of The Summe of the Conference betweene J. Rainolds and J. Hart, 1598, 4to. On November 28th, 1608, he was allowed by the Company to print an edition of Justin in Latin [Arber. iii. 396]. In 1609 W. Hall and Thomas Haviland { HAVILAND, Thomas ( - 1619) ‹ LBT 07334 › } secured some of the copyrights for printing commercial papers from Richard Braddock { BRADDOCK, Richard ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 07469 › }.

Sir J. Lambe in his notes says that they bought the business which had belonged to Robert Robinson { ROBINSON, Robert ( - 1597) ‹ LBT 08395 › } [Arber, iii. 702]. In 1612 Hall was associated with John Beale { BEALE, John ( - 1643) ‹ LBT 11034 › }, who eventually succeeded him and to whom his copyrights were transferred on April 7th, 1614 [Arber, iii. 544]. His place of business is unknown.
