Dated Spetchley Park Worcester December 25 1980. On white stationery with Berkeley's address and telephone number printed at head. "I feel sure that I would benefit greatly from a survey of my work to date such as you are doing for the composers you mention. I would like one of the possible contributors to be Peter Dickinson who has written the article on me in the New Grove. It might be as well to consult my publishers. J & W Chester. I should be glad to hear from you again." Creased at fold. 2 1-1/3 pp. Quarto. Dated London September 24 1981. On blue stationery with Berkeley's address and telephone number printed at head. Berkeley apologizes for his belated response. He discusses his Aubade for Organ. He will meet with his publisher Chester to discuss the order of his compositions after op. 96 and other queries. "I expect that most of your queries have been answered by now but some I will now try to answer. Aubade for Organ. This is the first of three pieces Op 72 number 1. The other movements being Aria and the last Toccata. 'There was neither grass nor corn' would as you suppose have been written in 1949." Creased at fold. 3 1-1/2pp. Quarto. Dated London October 15 1981. On blue stationery with Berkeley's address and telephone number printed at head. Once again Berkeley apologizes for his belated response and answers several more of Poulton's queries. He will contact Chester for answers to others. He would be happy to meet Poulton in London or Worcester. He mentions the following compositions: Judica me the first and second sonatas for Violin and Piano and the Suite for Orchestra. "I know this sounds nonsensical but I was dissatisfied with my first Violin & Piano Sonata and withdrew it. I then wrote another one - it was a considerable improvement so I decided to make it my Opus 1 forgetting that it was called No. 2 when published. I regard it as my first published work so I think its best just to call it Op 1." Creased at folds. "From the same generation as Walton and Tippett Berkeley has little connection with national traditions represented by them or by Elgar and Vaughan Williams earlier. This is partly because of his French ancestry and temperament which made him closer to Fauré and to Ravel and Poulenc who were both personal friends. Berkeley admired Mozart above all then Chopin Ravel and the neo-classical Stravinsky. His own idiom is built from an overt melodic expression usually rooted in tonality and allied to a fastidious command of harmony and orchestral texture. Religious subjects in particular invariably gave rise to vocal music of unusual spiritual intensity a mood also reflected in his instrumental slow movements. Though he was at his most distinctive in the 1940s and 50s the achievement of his later extended language is considerable. His is an enduring cultivated and imaginative voice in 20th-century British music." Peter Dickinson and Joan Redding in Grove Music Online. Alan Poulton is the compiler and editor of A Dictionary-Catalogue of Modern British Composers among other music reference works. unknown books

réf. 97942A Londres et se trouve à Paris chez Maradan 1789. 8vo. 1 folding map in frontispiece. 3 leaves. 443 pages. 2 leaves. 6 folding plates. Half-calf flat spine contemporary binding. First Edition of the first French translation of this interesting work situated at the crossroads of enlightment literature travel accounts and feminism. Abandoned by her husband with whom she had had 7 children Lady Craven asked for a divorce and left England to travel. The account of her journey published in London in 1789 was written in English under the form of letters addressed to the Margrave of Anspach - her future husband. She describes her travels through France Italy Russia and Crimea to Constantinople and back to England through Bulgaria Romania and Austria. This edition published by Maradan with the supposed address of London seems to have been published without authorization a few months before the authorized edition which was translated by the bookseller and published at his own shop by official permission. This curious example of editorial piracy demonstrates how successful the work became when issued in England. Folding map of Crimea placed in front of the title-page and 6 large folding plates printed on strong paper. Nice copy with the engraved exlibris of Louis Montandon.

1803réf. 333Octavo 388 2 ads pp. 200 x 121 mm. Contemporary mottled sheep rebacked to style gilt spine with burgundy morocco label. Some light foxing & browning to text due to paper quality. Old ink signature on front free endpaper marginal chip in a preliminary blank. Overall an unusually nice attractive copy now Housed in a custom clamshell box with a red leather label. First American edition originally published in the UK in 1732. Berkeley 1685-1753 wrote the Alciphron during the years 1729 to 1731 while relaxing in Newport Rhode Island where he was awaiting funds which never came for his projected college in the Bermudas. This this is the first major philosophical work to be written in America though published in London first. The book attracted more attention than any of his previous works. The dialogues it contains constitute a defense of Christianity from the point of view of an Anglican divine. Alciphron is regarded as an outstanding example of English literature among works on philosophy. It is described on the title-page as an Apology for the Christian Religion against those who are called Free-Thinkers and the Dialogues defend revealed religion against the current beliefs of the Deists. Luce places Alciphron with Joseph Butler s Analogy 1736 as the only comparable book on Christian apologetics in the eighteenth century Keynes p. 37 Sidney's Press, for Increase Cooke & Co. hardcover
