The Sibley Music Library's William L. Viner Collection webpage provides some interesting contextual information for these works: "John Bennett was an English organist and composer known for his competent contrapuntal writing. He was organist at St. Dionis Backchurch in London and in 1758 published his Ten Voluntaries for the Organ or Harpsichord. Other English organists of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the name "Bennett" include Charles Bennett (c. 1740-1804), Robert Bennett (1788-1819), Saunders Bennett (d. 1809), Thomas Bennett (1779-1848), and William Bennett (1767-c.1830)."
