YOUNG (ROBERT), printer in London, 1625-43. An important member of the Company of Stationers. Entered into partnership with Miles Fletcher, or Flesher { FLESHER, Miles ( - 1664) ‹ LBT 07401 › }, and John Haviland { HAVILAND, John ( - 1642) ‹ LBT 09027 › }, and bought up several large and old-established printing houses in London. On April 12th, 1632, he was appointed King's printer in Scotland in succession to T. Finlason. He appears to have given up his Edinburgh business in 1638, but on June 30th, 1641, with Evan Tyler { TYLER, Evan ( - 1682) ‹ LBT 09234 › – formerly one of Young’s apprentices}, was again appointed the Royal printer for Scotland. [Aldis, List of Books printed in Scotland, p. 124.]
There is also reason to believe that he had the management of the Irish printing - office established by the Company of Stationers, and Mr. F. Madan, in his Chart of Oxford Printing (p. 29), gives him as having a press in Oxford in 1640. He was dead before September 16th, 1643, and his copyrights, 131 in number, were transferred to his son James Young { YOUNG, James ‹ LBT 15705 › }. The names of two of his workmen, William Warner { }, corrector of the press, and Robert Chapman { }, compositor, occur in an order of the House of Lords dated August 16th, 1641, reprinted in Nalson's Affairs of State, vol. ii, p. 447. The position of his printing house in London has not been found.
