Linley, George (1798-1865). Author and composer of several hundred songs

Autograph Letter Signed, Together with 2 Rare Songs Sheets Which He Has Annotated As "Proof Sheets

London, December 18, 1840. 1840. London, December 18, 1840. 1840. Very good. - sc - Over 100 words penned on a 4 inch high by 4 inch wide sheet of buff white paper. In his letter addressed to a distributor (probably Chappell), George Linley writes: "I forward you Nos 1 & 2 of a new work, 'The English Ballad Singer', to be completed in 12 numbers which I am publishing on my own account". Hoping to promote sales of this new work, Linley further writes: "I shall be very happy if you have it in your power to assist me in the sale of the same.." Signed "George Linley". The left edge of the sheet indicates that it has been torn from a larger sheet. Darkened along the edges, the letter is slightly soiled. Very good.

Together with two songs with words and music by G. Linley, printed on both sides of four 10- 1/4 inch high by 7-78 inch wide sheets of buff paper.The songs, respectively titled "Oh! Where Are They" and "I Resign Thee, Ev'ry Token" are each annotated as "Proof Sheet" in ink by George Linley at the top of the first page of each song. There is some minor foxing and minor wear to the top edges of the pages. There is light dampstaining to the bottom corner of one of the pages. Very good.

WorldCat locates only one of each of these songs identified as numbers 1 and 2 of the series entitled "English Ballad Singer". As identified by WorldCat, the full title of the first work is: "Oh! Where are they, the kind and true?"

The verse writer and musical composer George Linley (1798-1865), wrote and composed several hundred songs between 1830 and 1865. Some of his most popular ballads of the period were "Thou art gone from my gaze", "Song of the Roving Gipsey", "Constance", "Minnie", and the music for Robert Burns' poem "The Jolly Beggars". He wrote the English words to "God Bless the Prince of Wales". Very good .
