JANEWAY (RICHARD), junior, printer in London, Dogwell Court, Whitefriars, near Fleet Street, 1698–1724. Probably son of Richard Janeway, senior. In 1698 The Lancashire Levite Rebuk'd was "printed by Richard Janeway, junr." He is probably the Janeway given in Negus's list of printers, 1724, as being in White Friars [Nichols, Lit. Anecd. I. 291], and also the Janeway who printed occasionally for Dunton both before and after the latter's misfortunes, c. 1698 [p. 250]; Negus classes him among the printers "well affected to King George". [Nichols, Lit. Anecd. I. 291.]
