In order to preserve as much as possible its nature of a ''Report, " in order to give Father Henry all credit due him, and because we found ourselves in accord on such vital arguments as are now ripe for presentation, Father Henry's essay in the Records of the American Catholic Historical Society (Dec, 1913) will now be drawn upon to estabHsh, if possible, the composer of "To Anacreon in Heaven. " First of all, it is but fair to look into Mr. Blake's and IVIr. Grattan Flood's attacks on John St...afford Smith's veracity and character as a gentleman. Says Father Henry in tliis connection, on pages 329-333 : I do not know with what intent Dr. Flood introduces hig remark concerning the "audacity" of Smith, in the following paragraph; but I may fairly con- jecture that the purpose was to impugn Smith's trustworthiness when, in 1799, he claimed that the air of "Anacreon" was "harmonized by the author.
