17991238331p. London: April 12 1799. 1p. oblong 4to a bit soiled and once removed from an album with tape marks on verso. § Very early ALS concerning ‘some Dramatic German M.SS which you might perhaps like to purchase’ from the bearer a lady: ‘Any arrangement you may make with her I shall consider as one of honour done myself’. On 3 Sept 1814 defending his hope to take a profit on the ‘Lincoln Nosegay’ enterprise Dibdin wrote to Earl Spencer that he had ‘for the last 7 years never received a single farthing profit upon any article with which I may have accommodated a friend or bookseller’. This early letter with no agency commission implied suggests an even earlier disdain for commercial remuneration or recompense save in friendly credit or gratitude for ‘negotiations’ or ‘diplomacy’ in such matters.

1791007574London: S. W. Fores 1791. First Edition. 18th Century broadside of song lyrics and hand-colored etching of foxhunting scene. Uncommon in physical form. Dibdin 1745-1814 was a singer-songwriter nearly two centuries prior to the elevation of that combination. There were always composers who publicly performed their own music of course. He was more versatile than that though. He also wrote operas novels and plays. He collaborated with legendary theater manager David Garrick and served for a time as the Music Director at Covent Garden. The "Oddities" for which this song was written was performed in 1789. Visible part of broadside under glass and matting 36 by 24 cm. With wood frame and matting 50 by 36.5 cm. The frame is of a burled cherry we believe the matting green with a thin white beveling and we believe most would find the framing attractive and worth retaining. S. W. Fores unknown

1800131Charles Dibdin 1800. Good. All 5 volumes have been rebound in half leather with purple marbled paper and are housed in a custom slipcase. There is some foxing and stains to the text throughout the volumes and the print quality is fairly poor. Mr. Dibdin was a bit of a musical theater prodigy and polymath who ended up building his own theater to perform in. In addition to multiple songs and plays he also wrote a 4 volume memoir and a couple of 3 volume novels. Unusual to see a complete set in hardcover that is not print on demand. Charles Dibdin unknown
17991238344to. London: Sept. 9 1799. 4to 1 p. tiny hole in centre text unaffected. § A highly important very early and previously unrecorded letter tasking his correspondent to give the bearer two copies of “my Charts of the Rights of Persons†one colored and one plain without charge “in tolerably clean condition.†The letter relates to the now lost Dibdin publication described in Windle & Pippin as ‘B2’ with a long descriptive letter offered above; the date of ours suggests a second try at a cheaper and more commercial reprinting of the “Blackstone Chart†after Cadell & Davies declined it. The request “in tolerably clean condition†suggests that Dibdin had had them stored and perhaps knew that some had been stained or otherwise soiled. The mystery around this chart has yet to be solved.
