LINTOT (HENRY), bookseller and publisher in London, Cross Keys, against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street, 1730. The following is mainly extracted from Timperley [p. 703]: Henry Lintot, son of the great London bookseller Bernard Lintot, was born about August 1709, and became a freeman of the Company of Stationers by patrimony on September 1st, 1730, after which he joined his father in the business, on whose death in 1736 he succeeded to the business in London and also became High Sheriff for the county of Sussex. He was twice married, but left no male heirs. In 1739 he published the third edition of John Keill's Introduction to the true Astronomy, at the end of which is bound up a fourteen-page catalogue of books printed for Bernard Lintot. In this the titles of the books are given at much greater length than in the second edition of this work which was published by Bernard in 1730, and also contains a few additional titles. This was probably one of a number of remainder copies of this catalogue, which Henry got rid of after his father's death in this way. Henry Lintot died in 1758.
