Publication Details Publisher: Schott and Co Ltd Place: London Publication Date: C1954 Edition: First Language: English Physical Dimensions Format: Soft Dimensions: 22.8cm x 15.2cm x 0.4cm Pages: vi + 21pp About this Book The Bird Fancyer's Delight was published by Richard Meares in 1717 and by his rival John Walsh at an unknown but probably only slightly later date, since both editions were advertised in the Post Boy in 1717. The Meares edition contains 30 tunes, the Walsh edition 41; but two tunes, both for the canary, are found only in Meares : the combined total of the two editions is therefore 43 and they now appear together for the first time in the present edition. Contents eleven tunes for the Bullfinch nine tunes for the Canary Bird six tunes for the Linnet four tunes for the Woodlark three tunes for the Skylark three tunes for the Starling two tunes for the Parrot two tunes for the Nightingale one tune for the Sparrow one tune for the East India Nightingale one tune for the Throstle Illustrated card covers.
