Leake, William, -1673, bookseller.
Note
Mostly in verse.
The advertisement on I4v lists books published later than 1650, including La prince d'amour, printed in 1660. Since the final leaf is not a cancel, Greg speculates that there was an original impression in 1650 with a blank I4v, although no copies have been seen, or that '1660' is a typo for 1650.
Signatures: A-I⁴.
With a woodcut title-page illustration.
