TOOKE (BENJAMIN) II, bookseller in London, Middle Temple Gate, Fleet Street, 1703–23. Son and successor to Benjamin Tooke I. Dunton [p. 212] speaks well of him, and adds "near Temple Bar" to his name; he was therefore probably already in partnership with his father. "He died May 24th, 1723, leaving a considerable estate to his younger brother Andrew Tooke, who was for many years Master of the Charterhouse Schools." [Nichols, Lit. Anecd., III. 627.]
