RIDDELL (WILLIAM), printer in London, issued his first certain dated book in 1552, for it is doubtful whether the date 1548 on his edition of some Sermons of Ochino refers to the translation or printing. In 1554 he issued a ballad relating to Queen Mary, in which he gives his address as the Eagle in Lombard Street; in the Ochino it is given as the George in St. Paul's Churchyard. On March 12th, 1556, he was brought before the Privy Council and bound over to deliver to Cawood { CAWOOD, John (1514 - 1572) ‹ LBT 07101 › } all the copies which he had printed of Cranmer's Recantation to be burnt. [Acts of P.C., vol. v., N.S., pp., 247-8.] He was an original member of the Stationers' Company and appears in the Registers up to the year 1560. He issued so far as is known only five books, the main part of his productions being ballads.
