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. <p><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 For a complete list of the dramatist-composer's published and unpublished plays musical entertainments and compositions see E.R. Dibdin A Dibdin Bibliography Liverpool 1937.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.</p> <p>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.</p> </p> . G. and W.B. Whittaker unknown

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
