Biography: Major London bookseller; at first working with his brother Oliver Payne, but after the latter's bankrupcy in 1739 on his own. From 1741 onwards, issued printed catalogues with prices (many in BL). Acquired the business and premises of his brother-in-law T (?) Taylor. Had a reputation for fair dealing and his shop, known as the Literary Coffee House, was the rendezvous of literary men of the day. Retired in 1790 and was succeeded by his son Thomas. Trade card in Heal Collection (Heal,17.119) advertises "Thomas Payne Bookseller...sells all sorts of stationary wares." A hand-written note by Heal on the mount provides further information.
