UNRECORDED ACADEMY ADDRESS
[Drop-head title:] Prologue to the public readings at Messrs. Flack's Academy, For Christmas, 1810, To be Spoken by Henry Tolhurst.
[London].
J. Barfield, Printer, [1810].
Dimensions 200 x 320 mm.
Single leaf broadside. Three old horizontal folds. Short central tear to head, creased, a trifle spotted.
An anonymous celebratory ballad marking the fiftieth year of Messrs. Flack's Academy, an institution of which, frustratingly, there is no record. The address was to be delivered by Henry Tolhurst, perhaps the Kent-based psalm singer (1778-1814) and composer of several collections of sacred music, beginning with Six anthems, and six psalms...for the use of country choirs (Chart Sutton, Kent, 1802).
