Songs of the late Charles Dibdin with a memoir. Collected and arranged by T. Dibdin, author of “The English Fleet,” “Cabinet,” etc. with characteristic sketches by G. Cruikshank

London: Henry G. Bohn, York Street, Covent Garden, 1852. 8vo, pp. [1] frontispiece; xxxi, [1], 328; 12 engravings by George Cruikshank, frontispiece included; original blind-stamped purple cloth, gilt-decorated spine which is worn;  very good condition.  Hundreds of songs from the English composer Thomas Dibdin (1745-1814). 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. Third Edition.
