HINDE (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1561-83; The Golden Hind in St. Paul's Churchyard. John Hinde was admitted to the freedom of the Company of Stationers on February 26th, 1590/60 [Arber, i, 122], and commenced to take apprentices in 1561 [Arber, i, 170]. In 1561-2 he was fined 2s. 6d. for reviling Nicholas Cleston { CLESTON, Nicholas ‹ LBT 07150 › } with "unsemely words" [Arber, i. 185], and again in 1562-3 a like amount for quarrelling with Thomas Cadman { CADMAN, Thomas ‹ LBT 07151 › } [Arber, i. 217]. He was again fined in 1564-5 for keeping his shop open upon a saint's day [Arber, i, 275], and for stitching books. On February 28th, 1578/9, he entered two ballads [Arber, ii. 349]. John Hinde's most important publication was Sir Humphrey Gilbert's, A true Reporte of the late discoveries ... 1583. The "Golden Hinde" was the name of one of Drake's ships, and it has been suggested that the bookseller adopted it as his sign.
