This article presents information about the book "Purcell," by William H. Cummings. Cummings is a prominent member of the Purcell Society, which was founded in London, England in 1876 for the purpose of doing justice to the memory of Henry Purcell, firstly by the publication of his works, and, secondly by meeting for the study and performance of his various compositions. Surely, no one but a musical antiquary cares to read a hundred pages of details concerning compositions of which he has never heard the names. Purcell is rated as the greatest English composer by his own countrymen.
