Wilton School; Or, Harry Campbell's Revenge (Esprios Classics)
Frederic Edward Weatherly, KC (4 October 1848 - 7 September 1929) was an English lawyer, author, lyricist and broadcaster. He was christened and brought up using the name Frederick Edward Weatherly, and appears to have adopted the spelling 'Frederic' later in life.

The commercial success of bourgeois song through the sale of sheet music demonstrated how music might be ...
