Transcript, i. xxviii). Several books were entered to him m the registers between 19 July 1557 and 9 July 1558 (ib. i. 77). He was warden of the company in 1560, 1563, 1566, and was master in 1568, 1569, 1573, and 1574. On the accession of Queen Elizabeth, he printed the proclamation dated 17 Nov. 1558. John Cawood [q. v.], who had been printer to Queen Mary, was joined with him on 7 Feb. following in the imprint of a proclamation on eating meat, and from that time the two printed state documents jointly. They were appointed queen's printers 24 starch 1560, with a salary of 6l. 13s. 4d., and rented a room in Stationers' Hall at 20s. per annum. On 10 April 1501 the petty canons of St. Paul leased to Jugge 'their shop with a chymney in it,' then in his possession, and other premises, for a term of thirty-one years (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1547-80, 1850, p. 173). Archbishop Parker wrote to Cecil, 5 Oct. 1568, respecting the publication of the Bishops* bible: 'I pray your honour be a mean that Jugge only may have the preferment of this edition; for if any other should lurch him to steal from him these copies, he were a great loser in this first doing, and. Sir, without doubt he hath well deserved to be preferred ' (Corresp., Parker Soc, 1853, p. 337).

Jugge printed about seventy books. His editions of the bible and New Testament are fine specimens of typography. He was unrivalled for the richness of his initial letters, and for the handsome disposition of the text. One of his devices was a pelican feeding her young; another consisted of an angel holding the letter R, a nightingale bearing a scroll with 'Jugge, Jugge,' completes the rebus. The latest entry to him in the registers was in 1570-1 (Arber, i. 443). The last proclamation issued by him was dated 16 Feb. 19 Eliz. 1576-7.

After having been thirty years a printer, he was succeeded by John Jugge (d. 1579?), probably a son, who was brought on in the livery of the Stationers' Company about 1574. 'The Advise and Answer of ye Prince of Orange ' was published by him and John Allde in 1577. He appears to have died before 6 April 1579, when Miles Jennynges claimed the copyright of a book 'whiche he affyrmeth yat he bought of Jhon Jugge' (ib. ii. 351).

Joan Jugge (fl. 1579-1587), widow of Richard, took up the business, and printed A few books between 1579 and 1587.

JUKES, FRANCIS (1745–1812), aquatinta engraver, was born at Martley, Worcestershire, in 1745. He was chiefly engaged in engraving or etching topographical prints, but subsequently devoted himself chiefly to engraving in aquatinta. By careful perseverance Jukes brought this art almost to perfection, his principal productions being coloured by hand. He executed a very great number of engravings in this manner, chiefly topographical views, like Walmsley's 'Views in Ireland,' Cleveley's drawings for Captain Cook's 'Voyages,' and others after E. Daves, C. Tomkins, &c. His engravings of shipping after R. Dodd, T. Luny, and others are noticeable. He sometimes worked in concert with Robert Pollard [q. v.], but his assiduous devotion to his art ruined his health. After residing for twenty years in Howland Street, Fitzroy Square, he removed to Upper John Street, where he died in 1812.

JUKES, JOSEPH BEETE (1811–1869), geologist, born at Summerhill, Birmingham, in October 1811, was son of John and Sophia Jukes. He was educated at the grammar school of Wolverhampton and at King Edward VI's School, Birmingham, proceeding with an exhibition from the latter to St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1830. As a boy he took an active part in all games and sports, was fond of reading, and especially delighted in books of travel.

At the university Jukes devoted himself more to outdoor recreations than to indoor study, but he was attracted to geology by the lectures of Professor Sedgwick, with whom his energy and assiduity soon made him a favourite pupil. After graduating B.A. in 1836, he left the university, determined to devote himself entirely to the study of geology. He made walking tours with hammer and fossil-bag, and gave lectures on geology in many of the towns in middle and northern England.

Jukes soon established a reputation for exact observation and geological insight, and in 1839 accepted the post of geological surveyor of Newfoundland. During this year and 1840 he performed the arduous work of a scientific pioneer and explorer in a country of which no map then existed, ultimately preparing a sketch map, a report, and a book entitled ‘Excursions in Newfoundland.’
