A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Kembe (Andrew)
KEMBE (ANDREW), bookseller in London, (1) By St. Margaret's Hill in long Southwarke, 1636; (2) St. Margaret's Hill in Southwark, 1642; (3) St. Margarets Hill, near the Talbot in Southwark. 1635-64. Took up his freedom June 7th, 1631. [Arber, iii. 686.] Under the year 1653, May 17th, Smyth records the death of "Mr. Kemm bookseller in Duck Lane." [Obituary, p. 34.] No books with a Duck Lane imprint and bearing Andrew Kembe's name have been found, but if the entry relates to him then the above list of imprints must be revised, and those books dated after 1653 must be held to have been published by his successor, possibly a son. A list of eight books published by Andrew Kembe in 1664 is given at the end of Palladine of England, 1664. [B.M. 12450, d. 7.]
