Description
London: Printed By W. Lewis, 1808. Book. 8vo, orig. plain boards. Pp. xii, 107, half-title; uncut. Folding engraved frontis. Spine lacking, threads secure; a fine copy within. First edition. A series of satirical squibs, the longest of which is the opening poem on Sir Richard Philips, the Jacobin publisher and vegetarian follower of Ritson, recently knighted; this is illustrated with the grimly memorable frontispiece, an infernal scene showing hungry authors and imps poised with forks and knives, ready to feast upon publishers and booksellers as they writhe over a fire on a hot grid iron. Other of Hood's targets include Lord Stanhope, William Roscoe, the Grenville family, and Samuel Whitbread. Although Hood's authorship is readily traceable in contemporary and biographical sources, the book is consistently catalogued under the Pindar pseudonym.

Description
Halle: Hemmerde und Schwetschke, 1816. Octavo. Contemporary marbled boards. 1f. (recto title, verso blank), x (foreword), 390 pp. With numerous musical examples. Small ownership signature "G.M. Klein" to title; contemporary manuscript note to free front endpaper regarding cost of book and binding; notes to recto of free rear endpaper regarding Greek modes. Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped. Light uniform browning. In very good condition overall. Third edition, revised. Turk, a German theorist and composer, became director of music at Halle University in 1779, lecturing on theory and composition. "Turk's Klavierschule (1789) was, for late eighteenth-century readers, an unsurpassed source of practical wisdom. ... Equally clear and vivid, though less celebrated is [his] Kurze Anweisung sum Generalbassspielen (1791), which systematically addresses the declining art of figured-bass realization. ... The work elucidates the notation of the figures and contains examples of many individual chord types." Damschroder and Williams p. 362.
