About This Item
London: Printed by Clementi & Co..., [no date] [?1805]. 4to, 235 x 160 mms., pp. 130, engraved throughout with music and text, with index pages at page 1, 41, and [109], contemporary calf, gilt spine (slightly rubbed); joints very slightly cracked, top and base of spine chipped, but a good to very good copy with the bookplate of Harry Colin Miller on the front paste-down end-paper and the autograph "E A Lowe" on the top margin of the title-page. The latter is possibly Elias Avery Lowe (1879 - 1969), the distinguished paleographer. The English firm of music publishers and instrument makers probably started up in the 1790s, went bankrupt in 1789, and re-emerged in conjunction with other publishers and printers. The Magdalen Hospital was founded in 1758, and this is one of many publications of hymns and sacred music associated with it. The first hymn is "Awake my Soul" by Philip Doddrige (1702 - 1751), sometimes sung to music from Handel's opera Ciroë. A manuscript notation of the title page after printed "Book" adds "1 to 4" and also in ms is the price, "10/6".
