Daniel Sedgwick 

Daniel Sedgwick (1814–1879), hymnologist, was born in London. After his marriage in 1839, he joined the Strict Baptist congregation at Providence Chapel, Grosvenor Street, Commercial Road, and later opened a bookshop at 81 Sun Street, Bishopsgate. In 1859 he began republishing old collections of hymns, under the general title Library of Spiritual Song, which led to A Comprehensive Index of Many of the Original Authors and Translators of Psalms and Hymns (1860), which placed him at that time (pre-Julian) as the leading hymnologist in England. Spurgeon and Josiah Miller consulted him, and Julian relied on his manuscripts.
