Used; Like New/Used; Like New. 3 volumes. 12mo crushed brown morocco with gilt-lettered spine by RiviÃ¨re & Son edges rubbed some bowing to boards; bookplates of Frances Amelia Adams front hinge of first volume cracked with front free endpaper detached moderate foxing and offsetting scattered throughout. An extraordinary setÂ extra-illustrated with 5 autographs and over 150 18th and 19th-century engravings bound in with many inlaid to size.Â Most illustrations are cut down to 12mo some with slight losses to the images; some are flush mounted to an inset window; some are larger formats folded down. Engravings are generally in very good to fine condition many with toning to the edges some with light foxing and some with light plate marks. A remarkable collection and veritable encyclopedia of portraiture of the period assembled with great care whereby at nearly every mention of a name within the printed Busby text whether in passing or as the object of more extended focus the collector Frances Amelia Adams has found and inserted a relevant portrait or in a few cases an original document of that person. Â Thomas Busby himself a composer published several notable works on music includingÂ A Grammar of MusicÂ andÂ A General History of Music.Â The present work is charmingly gossipy informative and highly entertaining and yields all manner of insights into musical life through history. Approximately a thousand anecdotes are assembled across the three volumes as a delightful potpourri. Among much elseÂ Volume 1 includesÂ discussion of Sir John Hawkins and Beethoven's eccentricity Volume 2 with entries on Italian castrato Farinelli and English lutist Thomas Mace and Volume 3 includes pieces on the music of ancient Greece and Rome along with the work's index.
