‎The Musical Repository: A Collection Of favourite Scotch English and Irish Songs Set to music.‎

‎Glasgow: Printed by Alex. Adam For A. Carrick booksellers Saltmarket 1799. F’cap 16mo in quarter sheets; half-title not called for; wood-engraved vignette at end of Contents followed by wood-engraved fly-title with text on verso; music printed from type throughout; integral advertisement leaf at end; pp.2782; A - I K - U X - Z Aa - Ii Kk - Mm<SUP>4</SUP>; contemporary full sheep spine ruled gilt black lettering-piece with guinea-roll rules gilt; a.e. stained green fore-edges mainly trimmed. Front joint cracking minute chip to leather of headband and sheep worn over one corner; light dusting throughout and one or two small stains but a very good copy near-nice considering the nature of the book. All the contents are anonymous but the volume includes a good number of songs by Burns several with titles that vary from those given in Egerer presumably from different sources and possibly with variant texts. ‘Coming thro’ the Rye’ for example which according to Egerer 8e first appeared in Vol.V. of the ‘Scots Musical Museum’ 1n 1796 is here entitled ‘Gin a Body meet a Body’; the ‘Lament of Mary Queen of Scots on the Approach of Spring’ first published in volume two of the 1793 ‘Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect’ Egerer 25 appears here as ‘Qheen Mary’s Lament’. Other songs such as ‘My Heart is a-breaking Dear Titty’ which Egerer records as first appearing in Vol.II Set 3 of ‘Original Scottish Airs’ in 1799 Egerer 25c may in fact have been first collected in the present work. This volume is not recorded by Egerer and would very possibly repay some study. A second edition appeared in Edinburgh in 1803 which though from a different setting of text was a line-for-line reprint of this volume up to p.278 but with an added Appendix of songs occupying pp.279 - 90 including a further variant of one of the Burns songs here and there identified as such.

‎The Sketches: Three tales By the authors of “Amy Herbert†“The Old Man’s Home†And “Hawkstone.†London: Longman Brown Green and Longmans Paternoster-row 1848 i.e. December 1847.‎

‎12mo in half sheets; half-title not called for; six lithographic plates printed in ochre and black sewn into centre of preliminary gathering; pp.viii262; vertically fine ribbed sage green cloth ruled and blocked blind on sides lettered and elaborately blocked gilt on spine; top- and fore- edges uncut lower-edges rough trimmed; end-papers coated pale yellow. Barely visible restoration to cloth at extreme head of spine; slight fading of cloth on spine and edges of covers; slight foxing of plates; otherwise a fine copy. According to the prefatory Advertisement dated Bonchurch Isle of Wight December 9th 1847: “This little volume had its origin in the following circumstance. It was suggested as a Christmas amusement that one of a party should draw a series of sketches which the rest should severally interweave into some short story or description. Subsequently a proposal was made that a volume so framed should be published with a view to increasing the funds for the erection of a church and schools at Bonchurch in which all the contributors felt a common interest. The original of the plan has been faithfully adhered to: the engravings therefore are not illustrations of the letterpress but the letterpress of the engravings. The Sketches themselves are in fact views of actual scenes and were finished before they were submitted to the writers. It was however left to their option to assign to each of them either the real or a fictitious name and to arrange the series in any order they pleased.†The author of ‘Amy Herbert’ was Elizabeth Missing Sewell; that of ‘Hawkstone’ the Rev. William Sewell; that of ‘The Old Man’s Home’ was the Rev. William Adams also of Bonchurch; we have not identified the artist of the very Ruskinesque plates. This title not in Sadleir; Wolff 6261 erroneously recording the name of the lithographers of the plates as ‘L. and N.’ instead of ‘M. and N.’ Hanhart. The Wolff copy was from an earlier binding batch than the present one and had a 32pp. publisher’s catalogue dated October 1847 bound in at the end: the present copy which is without the catalogue has an ownership inscription on the front end-paper dated ‘March 27th. 1848’.

Scott had been collecting the traditional ballads in annual trips to the borders since 1792 and their appearance here marks his true literary debut: his first major work. Taken from oral tradition many of the ballads are here first printed.

Complete sets such as the present one in nice uncut condition are nowadays scarce. In the present copy leaf P4 in volume three is in the first state with the reading ‘Part III’ instead of ‘Part Third’; B3 and B8 however are cancels as almost always.

Small ink-splash on edge of spine and back end-papers very slightly cracking; otherwise a fine copy. An unrecorded variant imprint the title-page usually being without Needham’s name though this has evidently been added by over-printing. A difficult title to find nowadays many copies having been broken for the plates the best of which are to be numbered amongst the finest examples of their kind. In this issue many of the plates are exceptionally fine. Faxon 1274 describing a copy a quarter of an inch shorter than the present one: the present copy is identical in size with those of the preceding years. Possibly the Boston athenæm copy described was in a different binding or had been rebound. The nineteenth year of issue of this Annual.

Heraud Mrs. Atherstone Bird and Mrs. Edward Thomas. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover‎
