Price: US$714.75 + shipping

Condition: Good

Description: Three first edition second issue copies of a selection of Lord Byron's works, bound together in a half leather binding with marbled paper boards. Containing the following works: 'Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice: An Historical Tragedy' and 'The Prophecy of Dante, A Poem' (1821) 'Werner, a Tragedy' (1823) 'Hebrew Melodies' (1815) George Gordon Byron, more widely known as Lord Byron, was a British nobleman, poet and leading figure in the Romantic movement, often regarded as one of the greatest British poets. Byron was renowned, rather notoriously as being the most flamboyant of the major Romantics, notorious for his aristocratic excesses (which included huge debts) and numerous love affairs with both men and women. Beyond this however, Byron wrote prolifically throughout his lifetime and remains widely read and influential. 'Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice' is a first edition second issue copy with Doge's speech on p. 151 starting "His crimes!" followed by seven additional lines from the original five and a half lines in the first edition first issue copy (Copac). 'Werner' is a first edition second issue copy, distinguished through the presence of the printer's imprint at the foot of page 188, with the words "The End" (Copac). 'Hebrew Melodies' is a first edition copy and is presumed to be a later issue due to the lack of advertisements to the rear of the text due to rebinding. In a half leather binding with marbled paper boards. Externally slightly rubbed and bumped to extremities and head and tail of spine. Slight rubbing to spine. Head and tail of spine partially split to front and rear joint, with leather partially lifting to head of backstrip. Small split to leather to title to spine.Slight sections of rubbing to rear board.

Mark to upper extremity of page 188 ('Werner') offset to facing page. Good

BYRON, Lord.. Hebrew Melodies.. London Printed for John Murray, 1815.

Price: US$907.50 + shipping

Description: First edition, 8vo. Contemporary publisher's calf, gilt, rebacked, front cover detached, marbled edges; pages crisp and clean. [6], 53 pp. 'The subsequent poems were written at the request of the author's friend, the Hon. D. Kinnaird, for a Selection of Hebrew Melodies, and have been published, with the music, arranged, by Mr, Braham and Mr. Nathan.' Isaac Nathan (c. 1791-1864) was a Jewish-English composer, musicologist, journalist and self-publicist. Son of a synagogues cantor, Nathan was classically trained by Domenico Corri, who was the student of legendary vocal teacher Nicola Porpora. In 1813 he conceived the idea of publishing settings of tunes from synagogue usage and persuaded Lord Byron to provide the words for these. The result was his famous Hebrew Melodies. The work used, for the most part, melodies from the synagogue service, though few if any of these were in fact handed down from the ancient service of the Temple in Jerusalem, as Nathan claimed. To assist sales, Nathan recruited the famous Jewish singer John Braham to place his name on the title page, in return for a share of profits, although Braham in fact took no part in the creation of the Melodies. Both Braham's and Nathan's signatures can be found on this copies title page. The work proved to be extremely successful, was reprinted numerous times and brought Nathan some fame and notoriety. Nathan was later to claim that he had been appointed as singing teacher to Princess Charlotte of Wales, and music librarian to her father the Prince Regent, later George IV. There is no evidence for this, although the original edition of the Hebrew Melodies was dedicated to the Princess by royal permission.
