NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. VL NOV. 23, 191-2.

WILLIAM CABTER, ARTIST. Information is sought as to the above, who was a native of Bristol, and is buried in Lancaster Ceme- tery. He was Art Master at the Grammar School, and I should be glad of reference to any of his works in public or private collections.

AUTHOR OF QUOTATION WANTPJD. Can any of your readers tell me from where the following quotation comes ?

CLOTHWORKERS' COMPANY. I shall be glad if any correspondent who is in a posi- tion to do so will kindly furnish me with references from the Company's archives to the following members of the craft, viz. :

Thomas At ley, 1405.

George Bell (clothier), 1620.

Thos. Blackborough (clothier), 1631.

William Blythman, 1547.

Failing other information, the date at which any of the above served the office of Master of the Company will be very welcome ; Herbert's account in his ' History ' appears silent upon the point. The dates given are, as far as possible, those of latest reference in every instance.

WILLIAM MCMUREAY.

JOSEPH HART, 1712-68. This year is the probable bicentenary of the birth of Joseph Hart the hymn-writer. May I ask if the exact date of his birth is known ? In the brief memoir attached to his hymns it is simply stated that he " was born in the City of London about the year 1712." At present I can find no more reliable information. He died in London, 24 May, 1768, and is buried in Bunhill Fields. His grave is on the western side, near the boundary wall, and is surmounted by a red granite obelisk : " Erected 1875, by lovers of Hart's Hymns." The inscription further records that " the author's remains were

interred in this spot, as the original stone yet remains to show." This explicit state- ment seems somewhat strange, seeing that I failed to trace any other, or older, stone on the occasion of my visit some years ago.

The best known of Hart's hymns is that commencing " Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched," which still finds a place in many modern collections.
