NEWTON (NINIAN), printer in London, 1579-86; Eliot's Court, Old Bailey. Son of Thomas Newton, gent., of Upsall, co. York. Apprentice to William Seres { SERES, William ( - 1580) ‹ LBT 08396 › } for ten years from Michaelmas, 1569 [Arber, i. 396]. He was made free of the Company on October 8th, 1579, by Henry Denham { DENHAM, Henry ‹ LBT 08578 › }, who had succeeded to Seres' business. As nothing more is heard of Newton until tbe foundation of the Eliot's Court printing house in 1584, he probably was working as a journeyman in Denham's office during the interval. In company with Arnold Hatfield { HATFIELD, Arnold ( - 1613) ‹ LBT 07348 › } he printed in 1584, for John Wight { WIGHT, John ( - 1589) ‹ LBT 00149 › }, Edmund Bunny's edition of Robert Parsons' Booke of Christian Exercise. In 1585 these same two printers produced editions of Caesar's Commentaries and of the works of Horace in sexto decimo. In 1586 Ninian Newton's name is found in the imprint to a quarto edition of Rembert Dodoens' Herball, after which nothing more is heard of him.
