LINTOT

lintot, barnaby bernard (1675-1736), english publisher, was born at southwater, sussex, on the 1st of december 1675, and started business as a publisher in london about 1698. he published for many of the leading writers of the day, notably vanbrugh, steele, gay and pope. the latter's _rape of the lock_ in its original form was first published in _lintot's miscellany_, and lintot subsequently issued pope's translation of the _iliad_ and the joint translation of the _odyssey_ by pope, fenton and broome. pope quarrelled with lintot with regard to the supply of free copies of the latter translation to the author's subscribers, and in 1728 satirized the publisher in the _dunciad_, and in 1735 in the _prologue to the satires_, though he does not appear to have had any serious grievance. lintot died on the 3rd of february 1736.
