Best.-Nr. 4859No place or date x 2 the other headed "A.M. Sep 25" to which another hand has added 1835. Total 4pp. 8vo two laid down on a page with minor defects and texts complete tending towards the illegible the other with bottom of page torn off with some textual loss again tending towards the illegible. In one he asks his correspondent to take up a bill of exchange that day "which I miscalculated for Monday" next - it will materially serve me without injuring you". In the next letter 1835 hard to read but he appeqars to be talking money with someone in need money he would supply before his Benefit and institute a transaction involving "Mr Peake". "After this week every night is a public or private Benefit at the Haymarket. In the final letter he mentions being ill all night and his writing in bed all day. He is sending various pieces: "the young English Gent" "I like it & wish it went to another Time - it would be much impressed by it"; "the Finale" "it was hard to do on account of the D-d short lines"; "an Abridgment of the Examination" "i hope it will do. I couldn't make it shorter". He'll bring along "The Introduction to Duett" although illness might affect their plans. He gives his address but in a quotation asks him to tell no-one of his address.

Best.-Nr. 11432Undated circa 1802. 2pp. 4to. Good on lightly-aged paper. Divided into eight four-line stanzas each with the same two-line refrain. The first stanza: 'Fashion was formed when the World began And Adam I am told was a very smart man As for Eve I shall say nothing more or less. But that Ladies of Fashion now copy her dress. Yet barring all pother of this that & tother we all bow to Fashion in turn'. Containing witty references to the fashion for hunting boots and crops New Bond Street Tudor and Stuart clothing Whigs and Tories. The poem appears to have been popular as it was printed in various collections: attributed to Dibdin in 'Thespian Gleanings' Ulverston 1805 and printed anonymously in 'The Theatrical Banquet' London 1809 'The Syren' Newcastle: David Bass 1816 and 'The Roundelay' Doncaster: Thomas and Hunsley n.d. all with variations including the absence of the seventh stanza about 'The Fashion of Fighting' and the line 'And their Shoes were turn'd up like a Critical Nose;' printed as 'And their shoes were square toed yellow worsted their hose.' Possibly written during the Peace of Amiens in 1802-1803 as the seventh stanza states that 'Peace is the fashion'. Although it is likely that the manuscript is in Dibdin's hand comparison with an 1838 letter by him is inconclusive; the later hand is tighter and smaller while this manuscript is a larger fair hand copy. See Image. Undated [circa 1802?]. hardcover

1791Best.-Nr. 007574London: S. W. Fores 1791. First Edition. 18th Century broadside of song lyrics and hand-colored etching of foxhunting scene. Uncommon in physical form. Dibdin 1745-1814 was a singer-songwriter nearly two centuries prior to the elevation of that combination. There were always composers who publicly performed their own music of course. He was more versatile than that though. He also wrote operas novels and plays. He collaborated with legendary theater manager David Garrick and served for a time as the Music Director at Covent Garden. The "Oddities" for which this song was written was performed in 1789. Visible part of broadside under glass and matting 36 by 24 cm. With wood frame and matting 50 by 36.5 cm. The frame is of a burled cherry we believe the matting green with a thin white beveling and we believe most would find the framing attractive and worth retaining. S. W. Fores unknown

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.
