The Sunday library; or The Protestant's manual for the Sabbath-day : Being a selection of sermons from eminent divines of the Church of England chiefly within the last half century with occasional biographical sketches and notes. 6 vols complete set

1831BIBLIO-59137Longman Rees Orme Brown and Green London first edition 1831. 6 volumes later blue half-calf and cloth gilt spine decoration and red leather title-panels 16mo 18 cm. various paginations tissue-guarded frontispiece portraits. Scarce Rare Book Hub has no auction record since 1954 and that for a supposed '1832' edition. An attractive collection of sermons of which Dibdin wrote in a letter "My hope & object is to fight Methodism with my right hand and radicalism with my left - by the influence of the excellent Sermons selected." Dibdin contributed the biographical sketches and notes in addition to any editing of the sermons but acknowledged privately that these were really included to protect copyright. Some 40 clerics are represented including several acquaintances of Dibdin e.g. Blomfield DOyly Heber Rennell and Sydney Smith. The publication was successful financially with a second edition produced in 1833-35 and Lister notes "Over 4000 sets were sold which is most remarkable in view of the considerable scarcity of the book today". Alas Dibdin's share of the proceeds was insufficient to make much impact on his very poor finances at the time - apart from his other troubles he had expensive costs from defending a libel action he had innocently become involved in. The set is bound without the advertisement leaves or half-titles mentioned in Windle & Pippin otherwise conforming to the pagination of their entry A56a with minor differences Vol III page 2 not numbered Vol IV prelims not numbered. A handsome first edition set slightly rubbed otherwise Very Good with a little faint foxing largely confined to the endpapers. Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, London, first edition, 1831 hardcover

The Sea Songs of Charles Dibdin: With a Memoir of his life and Writings by William Kitchiner

18233702877London: G. and W.B. Whittaker 1823. Occasional foxing lightly rubbed at extremities. Tall quarto copperplate engraved music and text; contemporary half calf a very handsome copy the spine gilt and with an unusual triple "harlequin" set of labels in red white & blue. First edition of this early collection of the patriotic ditties and rollicking shanties of the British navy: a fascinating and important record of the conditions of the Georgian sailor. Many of the songs had a lasting influence on the spirit of the navy especially during the protracted war with France. Each is present in an engraved musical score with lyrics. The collection was put together by the prolific Charles Dibdin 1745-1815. His son Thomas in a brief biographical notice appended to the 1850 collective edition of his father's sea-songs remarked: "These songs have been the solace of sailors in long voyages in storms in battles; and they have been quoted in mutinies to the restoration of order and discipline". Readers may be surprised to learn that many take "Grog" or trouncing the French as their theme. Bringing out his first two-act opera when he was only sixteen Dibdin had a long career as an actor and singer and worked briefly with David Garrick. A seemingly inexhaustible writer he composed some one thousand songs during his career and was also a sometime playwright self-publishing Great News or A Trip to the Antipodes in 1794. For a complete list of the dramatist-composer's published and unpublished plays musical entertainments and compositions see E.R. Dibdin A Dibdin Bibliography Liverpool 1937. Dibdin was not much of a sailor himself: in 1788 he sailed for the East Indies but bad weather forced the ship back to port at Torbay. He took it as a sign and returned to London. This book neatly demonstrates the difficulty of producing a book with a letterpress introduction and engraved plates throughout: several numbers are omitted from the series and conversely three listed songs are not included. This is nonetheless the standard collation of the book with ninety-five rather than ninety-nine songs. . G. and W.B. Whittaker unknown

THE LIBRARY COMPANION; Or the young man's guide and the old man's comfort in the choice of a library

1824164843London: N 1824. Pp. ivlii912 title page vignette index errata; thick demy 8vo; early half calf over marbled papered boards rebacked not recently with the original gilt lettered and decorated spine laid on the gilt worn away from the decorations between the raised bands the boards a trifle rubbed edges lightly worn with a few mainly small surface chips heavier below top fore-corner of upper board both joints worn with the upper joint cracking; uncut; ribbon marker; hinges cracking book label of David Levine Sydney on upper pastedown some light foxing and browning occasional slight soiling; printed for Harding Triphook and Lepard and J. Major London 1824. First edition one volume issue. 100 large paper copies were issued in two volumes. Windle & A50a. Tipped-in after the upper free endpaper is an autograph letter from Dibdin signed and dated April 15 1814 with an integral address leaf to W. Godwin Bookseller franked by Earl Spencer in Bath. George John Spencer 2nd Earl Spencer 1758-1834 served as Home Secretary from 1806 to 1807. He was renowned for his vast and impressive book collection and was the instigator and first President of the Roxburghe Club the oldest society of bibliophiles in the world. Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 was also a founding member of the Roxburghe Club. Earl Spencer was Dibdin's patron for many years opening up the library at Althorp to Dibdin for cataloguing. The resulting Bibliotheca Spenceriana a Descriptive Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century and of Many Valuable First Editions in the Library of George John Earl Spencer is regarded as one of the most thorough and elaborate catalogues of a private library. In 1818 Spencer commissioned Dibdin to buy books for him on the continent a trip described in Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany 1821. Dibdin also wrote Aedes Althorpianae an account of Althorp giving many details of the library. The letter to Godwin is Dibdin's response to a request for a copy of Bibliotheca Spenceriana: 'Sir I understand you have solicited for a third copy of the B S as subscribed for last July - but am sorry to add that such third copy never came to my knowledge and there must have been a mistake somewhere. It is wholly out of my power to furnish you with it. I am Sir Your undeciphered T. F. Dibdin.' It is possible that the recipient could have been the writer and political philosopher William Godwin 1756-1836 widower of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. At the time of the letter 1814 Godwin was a bookseller and publisher in partnership with his second wife Mary Jane Clairmont. In 1805 Mary Jane and William Godwin opened a bookshop and publishing house M. J. Godwin & Co. Among other popular titles the firm published The Swiss Family Robinson and Charles & Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. The bookshop also known as The Juvenile Library specialised in literature for children. N unknown

A Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany

18211246701821. London: W. Bulmer and W. Nicol Shakespeare Press and Sold by Payne and Foss Longman Hurst and Co. J. and A. Arch R. H. Evans R. Triphook and John Major 1821. 3 vols. large thick 8vo iv xxv xxvi blank v vi blank 462 lxxixi index; iv 5551; iv 392.297-622 lxii pp lacking half-titles. 83 plates incl. portraits; 1 color 2 sepia & 5 double-page & 63 smaller illus. in the text some on India paper mounted. Finely bound by Tout in full polished calf with triple gilt fillet richly gilt backstrip with green labels gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Vols. 1 and 3 rehinged tips bumped. Plates occasionally foxed but in general a very good copy internally with the bookplates of renowned M.D. J.A. Knowles Renshaw in each vol. and the very faded signature of Mrs Boolys July 1821 on each title-page. § First edition regular paper issue; first state of vol. 1 p. 27 and p.95 vol. 3. One of a very few books by Dibdin that went into a second edition. "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text being printed on India paper pasted-in are on separately inserted leaves . This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate . It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" Jackson. Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Jackson 48. Windle & Pippin A38a and A44. unknown

18141067671814. London: Printed for the Author by W. Bulmer Shakspeare Press and published by Longman Hurst etc. 1814-15. 4 vols. 8vo ix lii i 383; 503; 509 3; vii 509 lxxvii pp. with 22 plates including one double-page as called for and numerous additional woodcuts some in red in the text of all four volumes. These woodcut facsimiles are by the Byfield family. Full red morocco gilt dentelles. Bookplate of Ross Winans on the front pastedown of vol. one. Some occasional spotting or foxing especially in vol. 4 upper joint of vol. 4 beginning to split at head generally a very good set complete as issued. § First edition of Dibdin's great work. Loosely inserted at the front of vol. 1 is a manuscript note from Dibdin: "Subscription for copy of the Bibliotheca Spenceriana herewith sent £8.8. T.F. Dibdin Mar. 31." 500 copies were printed according to the prospectus and most nineteenth-century sources though A.N.L. Munby states that there were 550 copies; the prospectus states 50 copies on large-paper but Dibdin Bibliographical Decameron vol.II p.392 says: 'There were only 55 copies struck off on Large Paper.'. Regular and large-paper copies collate and paginate identically. In vol.I leaf M4 pp.87-88 occurs in two states both usually found together with and without the engraved facsimile of Polish type; the text of the bottom nine lines of p.87 is reset with the headline in a different type face; and there are minor changes in p.88. Ross Winans 1796-1877 was an American inventor mechanic and builder of locomotives and railroad machinery. He was one of the United States' first multimillionaires. His "small but choice" library Dickinson was bought en bloc by G.D. Smith and sold through various auctions though his copy of the First Folio was last recorded by Lee in the Census and is now unlocated. Windle and Pippin A25. unknown
