His collection of keyboard music [c. 1765], like many others of the time, was printed in London and then quickly exported to the American colonies. His miscellany is subtitled: "Being a Gradation of Proper Lessons from the Beginner to the tollerable Performer, Chiefly intended to save Masters the trouble of writing for their Pupils. To which are prefixed Some Rules for Time". Very good .
