Among the sources for "Songs of England" was "The Beggar's Opera" of John Gay and Dr Pepusch. Hatton collaborated with John Oxenford (who died in 1877) on a performing edition, providing it with new symphonies and accompaniments, which replaced the old one by Stephen Storace, and was itself replaced in 1920 by Frederic Austin's version for Nigel Playfair. Hatton and Oxenford also produced editions of Shield and Mrs. Brooke's "Rosina", Arne and Bickerstaffe's "Love in a Village" and Storace and Hoare's "No song, no supper".
