ABOUT THE AUTHOR EDITIOR AND BIBLIOGRAPHER Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776 - 1847 was an influential English bibliographer and Anglican clergyman best known for popularizing book collecting and producing landmark bibliographical works such as Bibliomania Bibliotheca Spenceriana and his revised edition of Typographical Antiquities. Dibdin was one of the founders and vice-president of the Roxburghe Club established in 1812 considered the first English bibliophile society. The club encouraged the production and reprinting of rare books stimulating a culture of book collecting that profoundly influenced English literary and bibliographical history. Dibdin's legacy lies less in his enthusiasm for books colorful writing style encouragement of book collecting and role in creating bibliophile societies that preserved rare works for future generations. His works remain referenced both for their historical contents and for their influence on the culture of bibliophilia. CONDITION REPORT The books are in Very Good antiquarian condition.

réf. 15942Dibdin's letter: place not stated; 'Sep 11 - mn' dated in pencil in another hand '1824'. Copy of Chapple's reply: 'Pall Mall London Sep 12'. Dibdin's letter: 1p. 12mo. On bifolium with the Signed Autograph Copy of Chapple's reply also 1p. 12mo on the reverse of the same leaf. Reverse of second leaf addressed to 'C. Chapple Esq' with a nineteenth-century shelfmark at the foot of the page: 'C.68.Coll.CR.' In fair condtion on aged paper. Dibdin writes: 'Dear Sir I presume you will not like to give £50 for the Copyright of the New Opera or perhaps you would give 45 - therefore I am going to take a good offer which will enable me to accept the two Bills and pay last word underlined them With many thanks - Yours ever truly T Dibdin'. Autograph Signed Copy of Chapple's reply: 18 lines of neatly written text. He begins: 'Dr Sir I have been expecting your opera on our late understanding viz to Publish jointly I am however happy to learn you can have some money for it pray dont miss the offer as there is a very great dearth in the purchasing way as well as in all others.' He continues in the hope that Dibdin 'can assist' him 'wth cash' as he has 'a 37 on Saturday & two more next week and actually no stuff for either of them at this moment'. He is 'going out this morning in the forlorn hope' but expects his labour to be in vain. He ends by asking Dibdin to 'favor my Clerk with an order for 3 or for 2 this evening'.

réf. 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.
