Hundreds of songs from the English composer Charles Dibdin 1745-1814 the most prolific singer-songwriter of his day and prepared for publication by his illegitimate son the dramatist Thomas John Dibdin 1771-1845. A member of the circle which included Garrick Sheridan and Harris Dibdin boasted truly "My songs have been the solace of sailors in long voyages in storms in battle; and they have been quoted in mutinies to the restoration or order and discipline." It is said that his sea songs of which he is the indisputable master were responsible for bringing more men into the Navy in war time than could all the press-gangs. John Chidley unknown

1823rif. 3702877London: G. and W.B. Whittaker 1823. Occasional foxing lightly rubbed at extremities. Tall quarto copperplate engraved music and text; contemporary half calf a very handsome copy the spine gilt and with an unusual triple "harlequin" set of labels in red white & blue. First edition of this early collection of the patriotic ditties and rollicking shanties of the British navy: a fascinating and important record of the conditions of the Georgian sailor. Many of the songs had a lasting influence on the spirit of the navy especially during the protracted war with France. Each is present in an engraved musical score with lyrics. The collection was put together by the prolific Charles Dibdin 1745-1815. His son Thomas in a brief biographical notice appended to the 1850 collective edition of his father's sea-songs remarked: "These songs have been the solace of sailors in long voyages in storms in battles; and they have been quoted in mutinies to the restoration of order and discipline". Readers may be surprised to learn that many take "Grog" or trouncing the French as their theme. Bringing out his first two-act opera when he was only sixteen Dibdin had a long career as an actor and singer and worked briefly with David Garrick. A seemingly inexhaustible writer he composed some one thousand songs during his career and was also a sometime playwright self-publishing Great News or A Trip to the Antipodes in 1794. For a complete list of the dramatist-composer's published and unpublished plays musical entertainments and compositions see E.R. Dibdin A Dibdin Bibliography Liverpool 1937. Dibdin was not much of a sailor himself: in 1788 he sailed for the East Indies but bad weather forced the ship back to port at Torbay. He took it as a sign and returned to London. This book neatly demonstrates the difficulty of producing a book with a letterpress introduction and engraved plates throughout: several numbers are omitted from the series and conversely three listed songs are not included. This is nonetheless the standard collation of the book with ninety-five rather than ninety-nine songs. . G. and W.B. Whittaker unknown
