=============================
Stammers, Joseph, was born at Bury St. Edmunds in 1801, and educated for the legal profession. After practising in London as a solicitor for some time he was called to the Bar in 1833, and joined the Northern Circuit. (Lyra Britannica,1868.) He died in London, May 18, 1885. His popular hymn—
Breast the wave, Christian (Perseverance) was contributed to the Cottage Magazine (a small serial edited by the Rev. John Buckworth, late Vicar of Dewsbury) in 1830. It has passed into several collections, including the Baptist Psalms & Hymns, 1858; the People's Hymnal, 1867 (altered), and others.
Mr. Stammers also contributed 4 hymns to Dr. Rogers's Lyra Britannica1868, but these have not come into common use.

John Stamp
Author of "Come, poor guilty, anxious mourner" Stamp, John, was for some time a minister with the Primitive Methodists; but, for various reasons, he was suspended in 1841. For sometime afterwards he preached in Hull, where a chapel was built for him in West Street. There also his weakness displayed itself, and he had to remove elsewhere. Thenceforth he lived, it is said, in great poverty until his death. He published The Christian's Spiritual Song Book, in 1845. It contains several of his hymns, two of which,—(1) "Leave Thee, no, my dearest [gracious] Saviour" (Perseverance), and (2), "Pity, Lord, a wretched creature" (Lent) — are in Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book, 1866.
