<p class="just">Purday was appointed conductor of psalmody at Crown Court Scots Church in Covent Garden, London, in the 1840’s, during the ministry of Dr. John Cumming. Dr. Cumming’s church was so popular that it was said traffic could not move in Bow Street and Drury Lane for the throng of carriages making their way to the services. Purday was a fine vocalist and had sung at the coronation of Queen Victoria. He became a publisher of music, and was a pioneer in the movement for the reform of the law in regard to musical copyright. In 1854 he published <em>Crown Court Psalmody: One hundred Psalm Tunes and Chants</em>, and in 1857 <em>The Church and Home Tune Book</em>, in which the tune “Sandon” first appeared. In Britain it quickly became associated with Newman’s <a href = "./hymns/hymns_html/htm_l_e_leadkind.html" >Lead, Kindly Light</a>.</p>
