New page on John Simpson Dance Publisher

New page

Of Sweeting's Alley, Cornhill, near the Royal Exchange. He was the publisher of many important works during the early part of the eighteenth century. He seems to have been a manager or assistant to Mrs. Hare, the widow of Joseph Hare, who had a shop near or in the same premises occupied by Simpson.

One of the original addresses of the Hare family was Freeman's Yard, Cornhill but many of the imprints especially the later ones, merely give the name "in Cornhill" or "in Corn-
hill, near the Royal Exchange"

Joseph Hare died in July 1733, Lnd the first notice I can find of Simpson is the half erased imprint on a page in the first volume of "Thesaurus Musicus" (p. 65). Most of the pieces forming the contents of this have been single songs, issued by Simpson (and having his name at the foot ' ), before being collected into a volume The page in question is "A two part son,, on the approaching nuptials Of the Prince of Orange and the Princess of Great Britain. This event occurred on the 14th of March 1734- so that it may be well assumed that the song was issued prior to this and the probability is that it was published by Simpson, like others, in the, volume It has the imprint "Printed for J. Simpson in Sweeting's Alley, Royal Exchange," which can still be easily read on most copies.

It was adjoining Freeman's Yard and ran from the back of the Royal exchange.
