"Bland & Weller did a rather extensive trade
and published Hook's collections of Vauxhall Songs from 1793 till
at least 1800, plus yearly books of Country Dances, and Sheet
Music. They also re-issued a book of Scotch airs, originally
published by James Oswald. In 1805 the firm purchased from Charles
Dibdin, who had got tired of his music publishing business, the
copyright of three hundred and sixty songs together with his
musical stock for the sum of £1800 and an annuity of £100 for
three years. These songs they of course re-issued." - Kidson
