1814001146London: Whittingham and Arliss. Chiswick Press 1814. Full Calf. Very Good Plus. 32mo - over 4 - 5" tall. 26 volumes issued between 1814 to 1818 with a total of 104 plays four per volume. Extremely rare in this full and continuous set. A few illustrations accompany each play. This is an extraordinary collection of the popular and canonical theater of the day with some informative notes about the plays premier and players sometimes listing those of contemporary performances sometimes those who originated the plays. The plays include farces burlesques operas essentially musicals or operettas not full-fledged operas masques tragedies etc. Some from playwrights still revered and even performed such as Sheridan Congreve Milton Garrick Colley; others by now obscure writers. Also curious is the number of plays written by women and this might constitute an interesting springboard for study on female writers in the theater. Plays include in order of volumes up to just volume 18 to provide a sense of the range: The Rivals - Sheridan The Beggar's Opera - John Gay Venice Preserved - Thomas Otway The Irish Widow - David Garrick The West Indian - Richard Cumberland A Bold Stroke for a Wife - Mrs. Centlivre Isabella - David Garrick The Quaker - Charles Dibdin The Provoked Husband - J Vanbrugh and Cibber Colley Douglas - John Home Love in a Village - Isaac Bickerstaff Fortune's Frolic - John Till Allingham The Belle's Stratagem - Mrs. Cowley The Gamester - Edward Moore The Brothers - Richard Cumberland Richard Coeur de Lion - General Burgoyne Man of the World - Charles Macklin The Grecian Daughter - Arthur Murphy Maid of the Mill - Isaac Bickerstaff High Life Below Stairs - The Rev.

Dibdin was the son of Charles Dibdin a song-writer and theatre manager and of Mrs Davenet an actress whose real name was Harriet Pitt. He was apprenticed to his maternal uncle a London upholsterer and later to William Rawlins afterwards sheriff of London. He summoned his second master unsuccessfully for rough treatment; and after a few years of service he ran away to join a company of country players. From 1789 to 1795 he played all sorts of parts; he worked as a scene painter at Liverpool in 1791; and during this period he composed more than 1000 songs. His first work as a dramatist was Something New followed by The Mad Guardian in 1795. He returned to London in 1795 having married two years before; and in the winter of 1798-99 The Jew and the Doctor was produced at Theatre Royal Covent Garden. From this time he contributed a very large number of comedies operas farces etc. to the public entertainment. Some of these brought immense popularity to the writer and immense profits to the theatres. It is stated that the pantomime of Mother Goose 1807 produced more than £20000 for the management at Covent Garden theatre and the High-mettled Racer adapted as a pantomime from his father's play £18000 at Astley's. Dibdin was prompter and pantomime writer at Theatre Royal Drury Lane until 1816 when he took over the Surrey Theatre. This venture proved disastrous and he became bankrupt. After this he was manager of the Haymarket Theatre but without his old success and his last years were passed in comparative poverty. In 1827 he published two volumes of Reminiscences; and at the time of his death he was preparing an edition of his father's sea songs for which a small sum was allowed him weekly by the lords of the admiralty. Of his own songs "The Oak Table" and "The Snug Little Island" were popular at the time. First Edition. Full Calf Leather. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover. Henry Colburn Hardcover
