1749AQ19735London: Printed for Daniel Browne 1749. 2 207pp 1. With a final page of publisher's advertisements. Contemporary speckled calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece gilt. Extremities rubbed slight splitting to joints. Later typed bookseller/auction descriptions pasted to FEP lightly spotted. The first edition of a selection of songs intended to serve as an 'Antidote against Melancholy'. A great many of the songs among them 'Thus we'll drown all melancholy' 'Banish sorrow let's drink' and 'The generous Wine now tempts my Lip' address the relationship between alcohol and feelings of depression or despondency whether as a cure or an incitement. The verses exalt the power to 'drown all our cares in full bumpers of sherry' often linking drunkenness with sins of lust and greed although largely celebratory in tone - the 'antidote' present in the title seems to be a bottle of wine and the pursuit of women!
