ass John Gostling), George Steevens, the Duchess of Portland and others. Hawkins was engaged for 16 years on his
mammoth task... published complete in November 1776, almost seven months after the publication of the first volume
of Charles Burney’s rival history... In general Hawkins amazed his contemporaries by his erudition and
discernment...”
“A comparison of the histories by Burney and Hawkins is inevitable, although they are complementary rather than
conflicting. Hawkins’s contains valuable information about early 18th-century musical society in London, largely
collected from survivors of the period, and emphasizes the achievement of 16th- and early 17th-century composers,
who were treated condescendingly by Burney. Burney, on the other hand, had a considerably greater knowledge and
insight into European musical trends and society and his musical analyses are technically superior to those of
Hawkins. His literary style also was celebrated for its grace and wit, qualities which Hawkins lacked; and his work
was better organized than Hawkins’s. In many respects, however, Hawkins was a pioneer, to whose work Burney
owed a great deal although he publicly ignored Hawkins’s accomplishment... Some sections of Burney's History are,
in fact, based in whole or part on Hawkins's work." Percy A. Scholes in Grove online.
