I know it has been a long time since this topic thread was started, but I just came across the exchange this evening, and I thought that what I have to report might be of interest to those who participated in the earlier discussion. I have in my possession a copy of the fourth edition of Henry Edward Hodson's cantata, The Golden Legend, about which I knew nothing until I looked Hodson up so as to learn more about the volume, which I inherited from my grandparents some years ago. My great grandfather was Arthur Evelyn Fleming, Praecentor and Minor Canon at Gloucester Cathedral in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. He is of particular interest to me because my father, Robert Fleming, and his cousin Michael Fleming, were both church composers.This particular copy of the volume was presented to A.E. Fleming by Hodson, "with very grateful recollection from the composer". A signed and dated picture of Hodson was also pasted on the back of the front cover, which itself has embossed on it "Golden Legend 1880" and "Gloucester. Oct.7.1909", the same date on which the photograph was signed. I am wondering whether this was a presentation copy, perhaps linked to a performance of the work in  Gloucester on that particular date.
