GREENE (JOHN), (?) bookseller in London, ? 1630-? 1634. A stationer of this name is given as taking up his freedom in the Company on June 17th, 1624 [Arber, iii. 685]. But the references to John Greene in the 1640 catalogue of English Books at the British Museum, upon the authority of which Mr. Arber makes the statement that he was publishing between 1630 and 1634, are misleading. The J. Greene whose name appears in the imprint of Dr. Preston's Sermons in 1634 was Joane Greene { GREENE, Joane ‹ LBT 03496 › }, the widow of Leonard Greene { GREENE, Leonard ( - 1630) ‹ LBT 10651 › } of Cambridge, for whom the first edition of the work was published in 1630, while James Shirley's Gratefull Servant was published in 1630 by John Grove { GROVE, John ‹ LBT 09420 › } of Furnivall's Inn Gate.
