LEWTY (RICHARD), stationer in London, 1637-40. Took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers on October 2nd, 1637 [Arber, iii. 688]. He married Christian, the daughter of Richard Bathurst of Bromley, who had been living for two years at the house of Thomas Purfoot, junior { PURFOOT, Thomas ( - 1640) ‹ LBT 07180 › }. Thumas Purfoot shortly before his death in 1640 assigned his copyrights to R. Lewty, who in the Register is wrongly described as his son-in-law. There is no evidence tbat Lewty ever published any of these hooks, but a few days after receiving them he transferred one, William Crashaw's Decimarum et oblationum tabula, to Andrew Cooke { ? }, after which nothing more is heard of him [Arber, iv. 510, 511].
