Notes & Queries "London Booksellers Series" (1931–2)

WALTHOE, J. (clxi. 277). Supposing that there were two John Walthoe's, as DR. WOOD suggests, the full address of one of them—presumably the younger—is found on imprints dated 1729 and 1735 as "at the Golden Ball over against the Royal Exchange," not "against the Royal Exchange." The same two imprints also carry the name "J. Walthoe at Richmond" but whether this merely indicates a second address, or whether it represents a separate person, it is difficult to say. DR. WOOD said he was unable to trace John W althoe senior after 1720.
