Poyser was the author of the first 'Official Song-book of the Scout Movement', 'The Scout Song Book' (1912). He published a history of the Tower of London in 1908, 'when I was Master of the Music of the Collegiate Church of Allhallows Barking-by-the-Tower, City of London'.

Then were, in 1928, "presented" to another Queen Elizabeth.' Laid down on 54 foolscap 8vo leaves, in sturdy brown 'Twinlock Crown Loose Leaf Binder'. In good condition, lightly-aged and worn, with a few loose leaves, and some items marked as 'Not Present'. The captions, in Poyser's autograph are informative, as the following indicates: 'When I was Organist and Choirmaster at Bordighera, Italy, on the Riviera Coast, we held our rehearsals at George Macdonald's house, Casa Coraggio. (Macdonald is the well-known Scottish author.) It was to these rehearsals that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (of Glamis) came, as a member of my choir .

The notable London firm of P. S. King & Son, 'Publishers, Parliamentary and General Booksellers, Bookbinders and Printers', was in existence for more than a hundred years, having been established, according to its own account, in Parliament Street in 1819, and still active until 1941, when it became P. S. King and Staples, under which name it traded for around six years. (An advertisement for the Staples Press Limited in The Times, 14 February 1946, lists, among incorporated companies: 'P. S. King and Staples Limited | Publishers, Parliamentary and General Booksellers | Publishers to the L[ondon]. C[ounty]. C[ouncil]. and I[interational]. L[abour]. O[rganisation]. | Printing and Bookbinding | Westminster. Founded 1819.')

Hallett of the Society of Arts, 102 Park Street, Grosvenor Square, 20 January 1887 ('I have been asked to treat the same subject as the Address you have printed for the Society of Arts so I hardly know whether it is worth while to keep any of the "Addresses" After it is delivered the resolutions passed and perhaps a few press notices might be added, so I should be obliged if you will not at present break up the type as we might require further copies. Of course I have not the slightest objection to your printing for you own use or sale any copies you might wish for.'); Agnes R. Hawksley: two from Lingholt, Grayshott, Haslemere (one on letterhead), 10 and 13 April 1904 (from the former: 'Thank you so much for the autograph of the Duke of Wellington [.] I also send a letter I have of Conan Doyle's with pleasure'); Healy: on letterhead of the House of Commons Library; Bolton King: on letterhead of Gaydon, Warwick, 9 October 1902; William Knight (Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University of St Andrews): on letterhead of the Castle House, St Andrew, Scotland, 20 October 1902 ('If you have two by Dr. Chalmers, I would ask the favour (not for myself but for the University of St Andrews) to have one of them framed under his portrait in the classroom where he lectured; and, in exchange for it, you might have a letter of some eminent man'); J.

Latimer: on letterhead of 143 Fore Street, Exeter, 3 June 1886 ('You by your pen are doing the best for England - as a good King might be expected to do.
