FERBRAND or FIREBRAND (WILLIAM), bookseller in London, 1598-1609; At his shop in Lothbury, at the hither end of Colman Street. First book entry May 3rd, 1598 [Arber, iii. 114]. Dr. Arber [v. xci.] gives the covering dates of this bookseller as 1588-1609, but I cannot trace his authority and conclude that the first date is a misprint for 1598. Ferbrand was the publisher of some of Rowlands' and Dekker's writings and a humorous work called Quips upon Questions, 1600.

During the latter part of his life he was associated with John Budge { BUDGE, John ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 10299 › }. His last book entry occurs on the last day of October, 1608, and he died shortly aftewards, as on July 4th, 1609, his widow, Helen Ferbrand { FORBRAND, Helen ‹ LBT 03074 › }, transferred her interest in certain copies to John Budge, and the remainder to Thomas Archer { ARCHER, Thomas ( - 1633) ‹ LBT 07023 › } on October 12th in the same year [Arber, iii. 393, 414, 419].
