Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
ROBINSON, Alvan, Jun. Massachusetts Collection of Martial Musick, Containing a Plain, Easy and Concise Introduction to the Grounds of Martial Musick, Laid Down in the Most Comprehensive Manner. Together with a Large Collection of the Most Approved Beats, Marches, Airs, &c. Including the Principal Part of the Duties of the Camp, the Evolutions for the Musicians, and Their Signals; a Great Part of Which Was Never before Published. Designed Principally for the Benefit of the Militia of the United States. Exeter: Alvan Robinson, Jr., 1820. 2nd ed. corrected, improved, and enlarged. Oblong 8vo. 70,[1]pp. Orig. plain wrappers. Sewn. Neatly removed, original sewing undisturbed. A bit of faint foxing, lower free corner of rear free endpaper torn away, else very good. Rare. Early fife and drum manual for the American military. Robinson (1802-1865) claims in his preface to have "served during part of the last war as a principal Musician, and an Instructer of Musick." Although only a young teenager during the War of 1812, he seems to have been a fife major in a Massachusetts militia regiment towards the end of the war.
