Author of Psalm Tune "Doncaster."
—Our organist is about to add another selection of psalm tunes to the large number already existing. He has been able to assign all the tunes which it comprises to their proper composers, with one exception—the tune called "Doncaster," the author of which he has failed to discover. Will any of your correspondents kindly supply this desideratum?
W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A.
[The well-known tune called "Doncaster" was composed by Dr. Edward Miller, for fifty-one years organist of Doncaster Church, but better known as the author of The History and Antiquities of Doncaster. See his Collection of Psalm Tunes for the Use of Parish Churches, 4to. 1790, pp. 32. 46. 106.]
Dr. Henry Sacheverell.
—Can any of your correspondents refer me to a copy of the Assize Sermon preached at Derby by Dr. Sacheverell, and which formed part of the charge against him?
