LITTLEBURY (ROBERT), bookseller in London; Unicorn in Little Britain, 1652-67. One of the overseers to the will of W. Dugard. Mentioned in the Hearth Tax Roll for the half-year ending Lady Day, 1666. [P.R.O. Lay Subsidy, 252/32.]

LLOYD (Henry), printer in London, 1662-8. In the return made of the London printers in July, 1668, he is briefly stated to have one press. He printed for William Dugard an edition of Sidney's Arcadia in 1662, which was published by George Calvert. His address has not been found.

LLOYD (LODOWICKE), bookseller in London, (1) Next to the Castle Tavern in Cornhill; (2) The Castle in Cornhill, 1655-74. Presumably a son of Llodowicke Lloyd the poet. He is first met with as a bookseller in partnership with Henry Cripps, of Pope's Head Alley, in the publication of Henry Vaughan the Silurist's Silex Scintillans or Sacred Poems in 1655. They were also associated in other ventures. Amongst Lloyd's other publications may be mentioned the Poems of Matthew Stevenson issued in 1665, and the works of Jacob Boehme. Catalogues of books printed for him will be found at the end of John Norton's Abel being Dead yet speaketh, 1658. [E. 937 (6)]; and Samuel Pordage's Mundorum Explicatio, 1661. [B.M. 1077, d. 35.] Lloyd's name appears in the Term Catalogues for the last time in Easter, 1674. [Arber, T.C., i. 175.] His address is somewhat of a puzzle. In the same book it will be found in the two forms given above, one on the title-page and the other on the "Catalogue of Books" at the end. Humphrey Blunden, q.v, also gave his address as the Castle in Cornhill.
