He left the Company of Stationers a sum of ;^io for a dinner and a further sum of ;^io for the poor of the Company. Amongst the witnesses were Edward Pigeon, Philemon Stephens and Richard Thrale, all stationers. [P.C.C., 114, Sadler.] Two years after his death his widow transferred all her remaining copyrights to R. Legatt and Andrew Crooke [Arber, iv. 387]. Unless he took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers very late in life, which was the exception rather than the rule, it does not appear possible that this Robert Allot had anything to do with England^s Parnassus.

He was dead by June, 1643, when administration of his goods was granted to Ferdinando Blaker of Dublin, gent., his next-of-kin [information from E. R. McC. Dix].

Mr. John Johnston, second master in St. Mary’s College, St. Andrews, who died October 20th, 1611, bequeathed “to John Anderson printer, Tremellius Bible., in octavo.” Anderson was probably a journeyman, but where and for whom he worked cannot be guessed at, as there was no press in St. Andrews at that time.

Described as a “bookbinder” in John Gee’s Foot out of the Snare, 1624, in a list of those who “disperse print binde or sell Popish bookes about London.”
