JACKSON (ROGER), bookseller in London, 1601-25; In Fleet Street over against the Conduit, or Near the Great Conduit in Fleet Street, or (?) The White Hart, Fleet St. [Arber, v. 204]. Son of Martin Jackson of Burnholme, co. York, yeoman. Apprentice to Ralph Newbery { NEWBERRY, Ralph ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08123 › }, stationer, for eight years from June 24th, 1591 [Arber, ii. 175]. Admitted a freeman of the Company August 20th, 1599 [Arber, ii. 724]. His first publication seems to have been a little work on dreams which bears the date 1601. In 1602 in partnership with John North { NORTH, John ‹ LBT 08133 › } he entered Greene's Ghost Haunting Conycatchers, and from that time until his death in 1625 he issued many notable and interesting books, including the 1624 edition of Shakespeare's Lucrece. On January 16th, 1625/6, his widow { JACKSON, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 30695 › } transferred her rights in his copies to Francis Williams { WILLIAMS, Francis ‹ LBT 09285 › }. The list fills a page of the Registers [Arber, iv. 349, 150].
