Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/A/Anderson, Lucy

Anderson, Lucy, daughter of Mr. John Phillpot, music seller and professor of music, was born at Bath in 1797. The only instruction Mrs. Anderson ever received on the piano-forte was from her cousin, Mr. Windsor, of Bath, and that was very irregularly given ; but her natural love for the art induced her to persevere with no other assistance than what she derived from hearing the several eminent performers who occasionally appeared at the Bath concerts. At a very early age, Mrs. Anderson (then Miss Phillpot) followed her profession, and played with great success at the Bath concerts. But in consequence of her health suffering from a residence in that town, she was induced to go to London, where the success she met with determined her finally to settle. In July, 1820, she was married to Mr. Anderson, also a professor of music.
