Henry did not go into the book publishing busi-
ness to the extent that George did; but in 1797
Henry's imprint appeared on at least one book, the
Siamese Tales, printed by Clayland and Dobbin,⁵⁵
That he was the publisher of additional books and
pamphlets may be indicated by his advertisement
of October 10, 1797, in which he stated that he had
"considerably increased his stock of books and station-
ery by importation and his own manufacture"³⁶

Possibly "his own manufacture" includes sheet
music which he advertised from time to time. His name
appears on one, song which the Library of Congress dates
1798, but which is undoubtedly one of the musical works
referred to by title in his advertisement of October
2, 1797.³⁷ The song is Since Then I'm Doom^fd, Sung by
Mr. Marshall, published in Philadelphia by C. Hupfeld
and in Baltimore by H. S. Keatinge.³⁸ Charles P. Hup-
feld does not appear in the "Directory of Early Amerir
can Music Publishers" in Dichter and Shapiro's Early
American Sheet Music. He was a violinist;³⁹ and was,

to some extent at least, a composer.⁴⁰
