KING (J.), bookseller in London, (i) The Black Raven in the Poultry; (2) The Lute in St. Paul's Churchyard. 1698(?)-1703. In Trin. 1700 he advertised in the Term Catalogue a sermon preached at Hemel Hempstead by the Bishop of Chester [T.C. III. 193] and in 1703 Dr. William Howel's Eletnents of History. [T.C. m. 357.] It is doubtful whether he is the Mr. King who succeeded Dunton [q.v., p. 359] about 1698 at his shop in the Poultry.
