‎London: N 1824. Pp. ivlii912 title page vignette index errata; thick demy 8vo; early half calf over marbled papered boards rebacked not recently with the original gilt lettered and decorated spine laid on the gilt worn away from the decorations between the raised bands the boards a trifle rubbed edges lightly worn with a few mainly small surface chips heavier below top fore-corner of upper board both joints worn with the upper joint cracking; uncut; ribbon marker; hinges cracking book label of David Levine Sydney on upper pastedown some light foxing and browning occasional slight soiling; printed for Harding Triphook and Lepard and J. Major London 1824. First edition one volume issue. 100 large paper copies were issued in two volumes. Windle & A50a. Tipped-in after the upper free endpaper is an autograph letter from Dibdin signed and dated April 15 1814 with an integral address leaf to W. Godwin Bookseller franked by Earl Spencer in Bath. George John Spencer 2nd Earl Spencer 1758-1834 served as Home Secretary from 1806 to 1807. He was renowned for his vast and impressive book collection and was the instigator and first President of the Roxburghe Club the oldest society of bibliophiles in the world. Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 was also a founding member of the Roxburghe Club. Earl Spencer was Dibdin's patron for many years opening up the library at Althorp to Dibdin for cataloguing. The resulting Bibliotheca Spenceriana a Descriptive Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century and of Many Valuable First Editions in the Library of George John Earl Spencer is regarded as one of the most thorough and elaborate catalogues of a private library. In 1818 Spencer commissioned Dibdin to buy books for him on the continent a trip described in Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany 1821. Dibdin also wrote Aedes Althorpianae an account of Althorp giving many details of the library. The letter to Godwin is Dibdin's response to a request for a copy of Bibliotheca Spenceriana: 'Sir I understand you have solicited for a third copy of the B S as subscribed for last July - but am sorry to add that such third copy never came to my knowledge and there must have been a mistake somewhere. It is wholly out of my power to furnish you with it. I am Sir Your undeciphered T. F. Dibdin.' It is possible that the recipient could have been the writer and political philosopher William Godwin 1756-1836 widower of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. At the time of the letter 1814 Godwin was a bookseller and publisher in partnership with his second wife Mary Jane Clairmont. In 1805 Mary Jane and William Godwin opened a bookshop and publishing house M. J. Godwin & Co. Among other popular titles the firm published The Swiss Family Robinson and Charles & Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. The bookshop also known as The Juvenile Library specialised in literature for children. N unknown‎

Extremely rare in this full and continuous set. A few illustrations accompany each play. This is an extraordinary collection of the popular and canonical theater of the day with some informative notes about the plays premier and players sometimes listing those of contemporary performances sometimes those who originated the plays. The plays include farces burlesques operas essentially musicals or operettas not full-fledged operas masques tragedies etc. Some from playwrights still revered and even performed such as Sheridan Congreve Milton Garrick Colley; others by now obscure writers. Also curious is the number of plays written by women and this might constitute an interesting springboard for study on female writers in the theater. Plays include in order of volumes up to just volume 18 to provide a sense of the range: The Rivals - Sheridan The Beggar's Opera - John Gay Venice Preserved - Thomas Otway The Irish Widow - David Garrick The West Indian - Richard Cumberland A Bold Stroke for a Wife - Mrs. Centlivre Isabella - David Garrick The Quaker - Charles Dibdin The Provoked Husband - J Vanbrugh and Cibber Colley Douglas - John Home Love in a Village - Isaac Bickerstaff Fortune's Frolic - John Till Allingham The Belle's Stratagem - Mrs. Cowley The Gamester - Edward Moore The Brothers - Richard Cumberland Richard Coeur de Lion - General Burgoyne Man of the World - Charles Macklin The Grecian Daughter - Arthur Murphy Maid of the Mill - Isaac Bickerstaff High Life Below Stairs - The Rev.

Contemporary calf boards preserved and while generally scuffed and with wear along edges and corners these remain attractive. Bindings are tight. Modern endpapers. Whittingham and Arliss.
