(fl London, 1676-1728). English composer. Appointed to the Private Musick of Charles II in 1680, he retained this position under five monarchs, becoming composer-in-ordinary under William and Mary with a licence to give public concerts. His compositions, though uneven, show Italian influence; the vocal music (mainly songs) is more successful than the instrumental airs and other pieces. King was also involved in selling music from Rome and Amsterdam publishers.

(1869-?)

British professional clairvoyant and lecturer in occult science. He sat for Sir William Crookes, with whom he was acquainted, worked with Theosophist A. P. Sinnett, with whom he served on the Daily Mail committee for the investigation of psychic photography in 1908, and served as chief psychic of Julia's Bureau from 1909 to 1913. King toured Europe as a lecturer. His particular psychic faculty was diagnosing cases in which emotions were related to physical disease. He prepared himself for the profession by studying biology, physiology, and chemistry. King was not a trance medium and reflected spirit messages in a perfectly still but fully conscious state.
