Summary: "Dr. Arne and Rule, Britannia" by William Hayman Cummings is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the life and influential career of Thomas Augustine Arne, a prominent composer of the 18th century, most notably known for the national song "Rule, Britannia." Cummings explores not only Arne's compositions but also the personal and sociocultural circumstances that shaped his musical legacy, providing insight into his struggles and triumphs.

It describes his family background and the early indicators of his musical talent, including his secretive practice of music while adhering to his father’s wishes for him to pursue a legal career. The author sets the stage for a more comprehensive exploration of Arne’s career development, challenges, and the eventual recognition he gained within the British musical scene.
