Provenance: Family of Founding Father Francis Hopkinson 25 pieces of sheet music printed in Ireland by Hime at the end of the 18th century, from the family collection of Francis Hopkinson, America's first composer. "American society from about 1805 on was especially enamored of Irish and Scotch tunes, particularly the Irish Melodies of Thomas Moore, and other national music." - Richard J. Wolfe, Early American Music Engraving and Printing Founding Father Francis Hopkinson (1737-1791) was a signatory for New Jersey to the Declaration of Independence and the first American to compose a song, which he attested to himself: "I cannot, I believe, be refused the Credit of being the first Native of the United States who has produced a Musical Composition." Hopkinson published three of the earliest American song collections: Collection of Plain Tunes with a Few from Anthems and Hymns, printed by Carr in 1763; America Independent, or Temple of Minerva (the first American opera), printed by Carr in 1781; and Seven Songs for the Harpsichord or Forte Piano, printed by T. Dobson in 1788. All sheets were printed by Hime. Hime was an English and Irish music publishing firm run by two brothers, Humphrey and Morris. Hime began in Liverpool, but moved to Dublin in 1790. The firm continued printing until the 1870s as Hime & Son. The Himes did the largest provincial trade in Britain at the end of the 18th century because English copyright law did not apply to Irish publishers, so Hime could flood the English market with bootleg copies of popular songs. The song titles are: 1. "TEARS THAT EXHALE: An admired SONG in the PRISONER Composed by Mr. Attwood." 2. "I'D THINK on THEE MY LOVE. A Favorite NEW SEA SONG Composed by Mr. HOOK." 3. "HENRY's COTTAGEMAID." 4. "AS WRAPT IN SLEEP I LAY: A favorite Song sung by Mrs CROUCH in the Opera of The PIRATES Composed by STEPN STORACE." 5.
