Text: Fentum John. 78, Strand, Corner of Salisbury Street, or near Cecil Stre et, or near the Adelphi. Was in business at this address as early as 17 70 or 1773, while his descendant, Henry Fentum, held the same premises n early a hundred years after him. John Fentum
had an extensive trade, and published sheet and half sheet songs during t he latter half of his century. Some of these half sheets are songs from t he opera of the Golden Pippin, acted in 1773, and another early publica tion contemporary with them is a "Collection of Songs, set to music by J . B. Adams," folio pp.15. On this is advertised some pieces of instrume ntal music. A great number of his half sheet songs are only to be recog nised
from the I. F., or Ino. F. stamped on the lower corner of the plate. He a lso issued a great many books of dances and cotillions, generally in ob long quarto, many of these being a
continuation of a series of dance books commenced by Francis Werner, a m aster of the ceremonies at Almacks, etc. One of them is for the year 17 88, and another for 1789 "dedicated to the subscribers to Willis's Room s, Festino, &c, by Jno. Fentum, who intends continuing this work in the s ame manner as the late Francis Werner." Werner died in 1787. Others of t hese yearly collections are dated 1792, 5, 6, 8, 1816, etc. He and his s uccessors also put forth annual sets of twenty four country dances for t he violin. I have seen copies for 1810, 1816, and 1825.
In 1853, Mr. Henry Fentum was at 78, Strand, and Mr. A. J. Hipkins, who h as very pleasant memories of him, favours me with the information that h e was a flute player of
ability who occasionally performed at the opera. Fentum's shop is now g one, and its site absorbed into the Hotel Cecil.
