The riot had occurred at the "Dog Tavern," and in consequence several persons were prosecuted and found guilty; some were fined 500 marks each, but Reading and Pate were fined only twenty marks each; probably their fines were reduced in consideration of their dismissal by the Lord Chamberlain. They were, however, soon afterwards reinstated in their previous appointments.] [Footnote 45: _Nichol's Select Collection of Poems._] [Footnote 46: In the thirteenth edition published in 1697, the third part has the following heading:--"The art of Descant, or composing musick in parts; made very plain and easie by the late Mr. Henry Purcell."] [Footnote 47: The last piece Dryden wrote for the stage.] [Footnote 48: The music was published by Walsh with the following new title, "Te Deum et Jubilate for voices and instruments perform'd before the _Sons of the Clergy_ at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul. Composed by the late Mr. Henry Purcel." This led to a notion that the music had been composed for the "Sons of the Clergy" festival.] [Footnote 49: This third part is so scarce that probably only one or two perfect copies now exist.] [Footnote 50: In my own library.] [Footnote 51: It is evident from this will that Purcell's youngest child, Mary Peters, had died since her father's decease.] [Footnote 52: _Anecdotes, Biographical Sketches_, by Letitia Matilda Hawkins.] [Footnote 53: "The English affect more the Italian than the French music, and their own compositions are between the gravity of the first and the levity of the other. They have had several great masters of their own. _Henry Purcell's_ works in that kind are esteemed beyond _Lully's_ everywhere, and they have now a good many very eminent masters; but the taste of the town being at this day all Italian, it is a great discouragement to them."--_Mackay's Journey Through England_, 1722-3.] [Footnote 54: Dr. King's _Bibliotheca_, 1712.]
