About This Item

London: Printed and Sold by Dean and Munday..., 1827. Large 8vo, pp. xxviii, 344, engraved portrait of John Braham as frontispiece, musical illustrations throughout, uncut, contemporary boards; spine gone with folds completely exposed, boards worn. Plumstead seems to derived his work from a volume with a similar title published in 1810, but much of the work here is entirely new. The book is dedicated to John Braham, "the first singer of the day."
