No I'm not, I'm back again. I just looked up Henry Carey in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography http://www.oxforddnb.com/ which corroborates Wikipedia on the 1739 date. And was delighted to read that "Carey was also mindful of those less successful, and helped found the Fund for Decayed Musicians in 1738", bless him. | |||
