1749réf. AQ19735London: Printed for Daniel Browne 1749. 2 207pp 1. With a final page of publisher's advertisements. Contemporary speckled calf contrasting red morocco lettering-piece gilt. Extremities rubbed slight splitting to joints. Later typed bookseller/auction descriptions pasted to FEP lightly spotted. The first edition of a selection of songs intended to serve as an 'Antidote against Melancholy'. A great many of the songs among them 'Thus we'll drown all melancholy' 'Banish sorrow let's drink' and 'The generous Wine now tempts my Lip' address the relationship between alcohol and feelings of depression or despondency whether as a cure or an incitement. The verses exalt the power to 'drown all our cares in full bumpers of sherry' often linking drunkenness with sins of lust and greed although largely celebratory in tone - the 'antidote' present in the title seems to be a bottle of wine and the pursuit of women! ESTC records copies at two locations in the British Isles BL and Cambridge and a further nine locations worldwide. ESTC T86027. First edition. 8vo. Printed for Daniel Browne unknown

" I feel I must write you & tell you how deeply I sympathise with you and your daughters in your very sad loss. Although I did not know your husband very well I was a great admirer of his work and I knew him well enough to realise what a really vital and lovable personality he had. I shall never forget his friendly and generous words when we first met some years ago. I know you must be inundated with letters and how really useless most letters are underlined when one is in great trouble - and of course you must not think of answering this - but I did want you to know how real and deep is my sympathy."
