With an unsigned colour lithograph of mainly titles in gold and colours and below the title an angel and above the title a crown. The writer of the lyric Mrs parker remains obscure.

However Henry Watson (1846-1911) was an organist, pianist composer & conductor born in Burnley Lancashire who later went on to establish The Manchester Vocal Union with a Mr Henry Wilson. Most notably he conducted the choral class at Manchester Royal College of Music. We can date this piece as 1863-4 as the publisher was only at this address between those dates . This makes this arrangement(symphonies & accompaniments) by Henry Watson to have been completed when he was 17- 18 years of age. His collection of music is the basis for the Henry Watson Music Library in Manchester. The publishing company of E.Henry & Co continued from 1863 until 1884.

	NEALE J.M. REV. & ARR FAVRE JULES: For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country. London , John Blockley. c late 1860's. With a monochrome Illustrated cover by Alexandre Laby of an angelic harp playing orchestra.

	BARING GOULD SABINE & BLOCKLEY T: Onward Christian Soldiers. London, John Blockley of Argyll Street . Hand dated 1869. With a wonderful monochrome lithograph by Laby of the picture of an army of Christian Soldiers being guided by a Holy Cross above them. This fascinating version is the Sabine Baring Gould words, though there is no credit for the writer but the music is by T. Blockley and not the more famous Sir Arthur Sullivan version. I understand Baring Gould published the words in 1865 and Sullivan composed the tune in 1871 and so here is a dated 1869 earlier version by T. Blockley and published by his relation John Blockley in 1869, if not earlier. It is advertised as ' The Popular hymn sung in all Churches'. The sheet has an ink date in the top right hand corner of 1869.

With an unsigned colour lithograph of mainly titles in gold and colours and below the title an angel and above the title a crown. The writer of the lyric Mrs parker remains obscure.

Most notably he conducted the choral class at Manchester Royal College of Music. We can date this piece as 1863-4 as the publisher was only at this address between those dates .

	NEALE J.M. REV. & ARR FAVRE JULES: For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country. London , John Blockley. c late 1860's. With a monochrome Illustrated cover by Alexandre Laby of an angelic harp playing orchestra.

	BARING GOULD SABINE & BLOCKLEY T: Onward Christian Soldiers. London, John Blockley of Argyll Street . Hand dated 1869. With a wonderful monochrome lithograph by Laby of the picture of an army of Christian Soldiers being guided by a Holy Cross above them. This fascinating version is the Sabine Baring Gould words, though there is no credit for the writer but the music is by T. Blockley and not the more famous Sir Arthur Sullivan version. I understand Baring Gould published the words in 1865 and Sullivan composed the tune in 1871 and so here is a dated 1869 earlier version by T. Blockley and published by his relation John Blockley in 1869, if not earlier. It is advertised as ' The Popular hymn sung in all Churches'. The sheet has an ink date in the top right hand corner of 1869.
