Title: THE LIBERTY MINSTREL. BY GEO. W. CLARK
Author: Clark, George W.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: New York: Leavitt & Alden. . ., 1845. iv, [5]-184, [3 - Index] pp. Lightly foxed and spotted throughout. Inner hinges starting. Bound in original publisher's cloth [lightly worn], with gilt-lettered title on front cover. Good plus. This is the second edition, first published the previous year. More than one hundred songs, listed alphabetically in the Index, are accompanied by music through page 177; many were written and scored by the author. Pages 178-184 list poems and songs without accompanying music. Clark's Preface is dated October 1844. The book collects "songs and poetry written in the mid-19th century, addressing the themes of slavery and the yearning for freedom. This work recognizes the profound impact of music and poetry in social movements, advocating for a collective response against the injustices of slavery. Through various pieces, the author reflects the pain and sorrow of enslaved individuals, while simultaneously calling for empathy and action from those who are free. At the start of the publication, the preface highlights the significance of music in expressing human emotions and social injustices. Clark shares his vision of cultivating a music culture that resonates with the struggles against slavery. The opening poems immediately set the tone, illustrating the anguish of separation between enslaved family members, the deep sorrow of mothers losing their children to the slave trade, and the longing for liberty. The compelling imagery and heartfelt emotions laid out in these initial pieces suggest that the collection will serve as both an artistic expression and a clarion call for social justice, encouraging readers and singers alike to join in the fight for freedom" [online Project Gutenberg article about this book].

Title: Scotish [Scottish] Songs; In Two Volumes
Author: [Ritson, Joseph - Editor]
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine
Description: Glasgow: Hugh Hopkins, 1869. Second Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Two volumes (complete), octavo size, 587 pp. Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) was an interesting and, even for his day, unusual man. Described by the DNB as an "antiquarian"; at the age of 20, upon reading the "Fable of the Bees" he decided to "forswear all animal foods, and to subsist solely on milk and vegetables." By trade a "conveyancer", he studied law and became a barrister, employing his leisure time as a writer. Never one to run from an argument, in 1784 he took issue with a publication of "Select Scotish Ballads" by one John Pinkerton, claiming they were modern forgeries - which indeed turned out to be the case. Ritson went on to publish, in 1785, "The Caledonian Muse: a Chronological Selection of Scottish Poetry from the earliest times", and later, after a walking tour through Scotland, publishing in 1794 two volumes of "Scotish Song with the genuine Music". This two-volume set the second edition, published in 1869 in Glasgow; per the short introduction by the publisher, "The First Edition of 'Ritson's Scotish Songs' was published in 1794, and the number of copies printed does not seem to have been great, as for many years the work as been very scarce. This, and the fact that it is almost the only one of Ritson's works that has not been reprinted, has induced the Publisher to issue this, the Second Edition" (p. v). While most of us today spell the work "Scottish" with two "t"s, the publisher was careful to point out in a footnote to the Preface on page 1: "The word Scottish is an improper orthograph of Scotish; Scotch is still more corrupt; and Scots (as an adjective) a national barbarism; which is observed here once for all, to prevent the imputation of inconsistency and confusion, as a direct quotation should be always literal." ___DESCRIPTION: Both volumes bound in full tan leather, triple narrow gilt ruled borders on both boards with a small ornament at the corners, spines with six compartments, four richly decorated in gilt, two with the title and volume number, date of publication at the tail of the spines, board edges and turn-ins decorated with gilt, top edges gilt, marbled endpapers, half-titles in red and black, frontis in Volume I a tissue-guarded engraving of a likeness of Ritson with a facsimile signature beneath, frontis in Volume II a tissue-guarded small steel-engraving, title pages in red and black with small armorial illustration, five additional small steel-engraved illustrations throughout, steel-engraved chapter headpieces, musical scores scattered throughout (although many songs giving only the verses); octavo size (8 1/8" by 5 1/4"), pagination: Volume I, [i-vi] [1] 2-288; Volume II, [i-vi] 289-575. ___CONDITION: Overall near fine, the leather bindings smooth and supple, the corners straight with a miniscule amount of rubbing to a few, the text blocks strong and square with all hinges solid, the interiors clean and bright, collated complete with a total of seven steel engravings, and the set entirely free of prior owner markings; the binding on the first volume with a light stain on the back board (not damp), the binding on the second volume with some sunning at the top two inches of the back board, a few spots of light rubbing to the joints, and offsetting to the free endpapers from the turn-ins. Still a near fine set of an interesting work on old Scotish ballads and songs. ___CITATION: DNB Vol. XVI, pp. 1213-1217. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
