| Extra Information
|
Mr Purday respectfully informs the Public, that Mr. H. Phillips has most unhandsomely made use of His Symphony, Title, a portion of His Words and Arrangement of this increasingly Popular Song; and that as an Injunction is about to be issued against him and his Publisher for an infringement of his Copyright, he cautions them against the purchase of the one bearing Mr. Phillips' name; which does not contain the Words sung by him at the New Musical Fund Concert. The Public will thus perceive how true Mr. Phillips' assertion is that he is intirely indebted to Mr. F. Crew for this elegant and original Composition which Mr. P. begs to say Mr. F. Crew never saw in Print until Mr. C.H. Purday's Arrangement was Published some three Months ago.
