Volume 1: No.1-12 192 pages / Followed by parts of Volume 2: No.13 - No.1: 16 pages No.13 - No.2: 16 pages. With numerous black-and-white illustrations and photographs throughout. The pagination of this periodical changed from original 16 pages per number at the beginning of Volume I to 8 pages towards the end of the first Volume. With the start of Volume II in 1892 the periodical changed again to 8 pages per issue and also changed its numbering. We were not able to verify if this magazine was published beyond the May - Issue of 1892. Hardcover / Private decoratived half-leather with gilt lettering and ornament on spine. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. With the very interesting provenance of two Welsh men of Carmarthen: Victorian photographer J.F.Lloyd and J.C.Portnell. Bound by: 'The "Welshman" Newspaper and Steam Printing Co. Lt. Bookbinders Machine Rulers & c. Carmarthen' - with their bookbindery-label on pastedown. Includes manuscript-draft of a speech on endpaper titled 'John Jones Chairman' written by photographer J.F.Lloyd Carmarthen. The calligraphed titlepage of this privately bound compilation shows the watermark 'Annandale Polton' of 'Annandale and Polton Paper Mill Company' which operated from 1825 until after the Second World War. Contains hand-written note on Page 1 dated January 29 1896 signed by Editor Josiah Richardson'. This note also contains the blindstamped address of Josiah Richardson at 'Gordon House Wandsworth Common S.W.'. In this note Richardson telles the recipient that "I hope soon to go on with the publication of my Journal & should then be pleased to number you among my subscribers - Faithfully your Josiah Richardson". The date of this note leads to the assumption that by 1896 the magazine had already ceased to exist and Richardson answers to one of his fans by expressing his hope to go on. The Volume also includes a manuscript - Index to the rear of the Volume. A very rare and uncommmon compilation of this early Magazine with very interesting articles from "Pronounciation in Singing" to "Alteration of Music by Singers" to "Vocal Physiology" Breathing / Principle of Breathing etc. to "Stammering" etc. This short lived periodical is striking for its excellent in-depth articles on topics like "Voice Culture" Lesson for the Month: Tone Formation / "Sight Singing and Notation" / "Vocal Physiology" / "Something for the Children" / "Songs Worth Singing and How To Sing Them" / "Advice to Singers" / "Articulation for Singers" / "Concerning Critics" / "Concerning The Future of Song and Speech" / "Interviews with Leading Singers and Speakers""Lessons on Word Painting" / "British Dialects" an article on the usefulness of knowing british dialects "to reciters and in a lesser degree to singers.
