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! ESTC records copies at two locations in the British Isles BL and Cambridge and a further nine locations worldwide. ESTC T86027. First edition. 8vo. Printed for Daniel Browne unknown

Light uniform browning; occasional minor foxing and small stains; signatures loose. Third edition. OCLC 20912723. <br /> <br /> A compilation of traditional Swiss folk songs and occasional instrumental selections including music for the Alphorn and solo piano compositions many arranged by Ferdinand Fürchtegott Huber. <br /> <br /> The alphorn was a "wooden trumpet of pastoral communities in the Alps. . The commonest length of the alphorn is about 185 cm in which case its range extends to the 5th or 6th harmonic as quoted by Beethoven at the end of the Pastoral Symphony. . Alphorns were known best as herdsmen's calling instruments serving also in some areas to summon to church and formerly to war. They may also be numinous: among the Mari of Russia the long wooden trumpet is made for the spring festival and afterwards sacrificially burnt or hidden in a sacred place. Overall likeness in making and using alphorns and their distribution suggest that they possibly may have originated among post-Celtic peoples of the Migration Era. There is no firm evidence of prior existence; 'cornu alpinus' in Tacitus is less than proof of a wooden trumpet of which the earliest specimen from the 9th-century Oseberg ship Oslo Vikingskiphuset supports iconographic suggestions that wooden trumpets of moderate size were used as summoning and military instruments in early medieval northern Europe in addition to their pastoral functions." Anthony C. Baines revised by Max Peter Baumann in Grove Music Online. Rossini evoked the Alphorn in his iconic 1829 William Tell Overture. <br /> <br /> Of great importance to the preservation of the oral heritage of Swiss alpine herders. J. J. Burgdorfer unknown
