About this Item
198,[2]pp. Oblong folio. Contemporary three-quarter calf and paper boards. Extremities and boards worn. Lightly foxed. A good, solid copy. First American edition of this important collection, comprised primarily of music, with 127 compositions. "This work, customarily called the 'Lock Hospital Collection,' was first published in London in 1769, signed by Martin Madan as compiler. The enlarged London edition of 1792 is the model for this American edition" - SACRED MUSIC. Madan was trained as a lawyer, and was a cousin of the poet William Cowper. He attended a sermon of John Wesley for the purpose of doing a caricature of the famous preacher, but was converted instead, and became the chaplain of Lock Hospital, an "institution for the restoration of unhappy females." This collection became the basis for many hymn collections of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A nice early American musical work. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 17967. SACRED MUSIC 156.
