WATERSON (SIMON), bookseller in London, 1584-1634; The Crown in St. Paul's Churchyard. He was a son of Richard Waterson [see Duff, Century] { WATERSON, Richard ( - 1563) ‹ LBT 28238 › }, and was admitted to the freedom of the Stationers' Company on August 14th, 1583, by patrimony [Arber, ii. 690], and to the Livery in 1591-2 [Arber, i. 553]. His first entry in the Registers was on November 26th, 1584, and referred to Daniel's translation of the Imprese of Paolo Giovio, which was printed for him in the following year. From this time until 1635 he carried on an active business, his publications including, among others, many of Samuel Daniel's works and the Epigrams of John Owen. He also, from c. 1601, was the London agent for John Legatt { LEGATE, John ( - 1620) ‹ LBT 06877 › } of Cambridge, and, 1603-6, for Joseph Barnes of Oxford. His last entry in the Registers was on April 30th, 1633 [Arber, iv. 295], and on Angust 19th, 1635, his copies were transferred to his son John { WATERSON, John ( - 1656) ‹ LBT 11078 › } I[see Plomer, Dictionary].
