Anna Seward in Hoylake - early September, 1794
from Letter from Anna Seward to James Mitchel, Esq., 5 September 1794, page 396:
But I have not yet told you the pleasantest circumstance of our excursion. Coy Thomas White came to us from Buxton on Friday, and purposes to stay a fortnight. He enchants the company with his delightful songs. You know his voice is a clear contra-tenor; that his shake is fine, and that he sings with taste and expression. This talent has produced much gratification to the company assembled on our marine promontory[.]
