Job Lousley (1790-1855), English landowner, farmer, antiquarian and bibliophile. He lived at Blewbury and Hampstead Norris, near Newbury; an avid and idiosyncratic book-collector, with an eye for the curious and unusual, the books from his library, with the present being a curious exception, often bear forthright inscriptions relating his opinions of the contents, or his other encounters with the work.
