Egypt ." First Edition.<br/><br/>Frank Bridge was an "English composer violist and conductor. He studied the violin and composition at the RCM where a scholarship won in 1899 enabled him to work under Stanford for four years. He quickly made a professional reputation as an outstanding conductor and chamber music player.He was also a remarkable teacher though Britten was his only composition pupil. <br/><br/>"The isolation of English musical life from far-reaching developments abroad was an obstacle to the recognition of Bridge's later works. After his death his music fell into almost complete neglect though interest was subsequently revived. The poetic insight and consummate technique of his work promise it a permanent place in the repertory." Anthony Payne Paul Hindmarsh and Lewis Foreman in Grove Music Online. Augener Ltd.

Else Good. <br/><br/> A fine Sermon delivered soon after the repeal of the Stamp Act and just before enactment of the equally execrated Townshend Acts. Bridge warns that rulers have the duty to promulgate "only such laws as.are fit for the government of rational intelligent moral agents all equal and upon a par antecedent to any political combinations among men;" and not to abuse their God-given trust "by serving the purposes of ambition usurpation and tyranny.But I must not enlarge." <br/> Whatever the form of government all men "have a natural right" to enjoy freedom: "every man protected in his just rights sitting under his own vine and under his own fig tree.and none to make him afraid." Careful to be conciliatory he praises English rule even Parliament "which tho' liable to mistakes has yet been attentive to the good of the nation and kingdom and her colonies and dependencies." He praises God that the "late transactions" did not proceed "to that extremity which many feared and which would have terminated in.the ruin of the colonies." <br/>FIRST EDITION. Evans 10569.
