The Bird is a book that was published in 1781 and is written by an anonymous author. It contains a selection of popular songs that were sung in the most polite circles of the time. The songs in the book are categorized into three themes: love, hunting, and Bacchanalian (related to drinking and revelry). The book is a compilation of the most admired songs of the time and provides a glimpse into the musical tastes and preferences of the upper classes during the late 18th century. The title of the book, The Bird, is likely a reference to the singing of birds, which was a popular metaphor for the beauty and grace of music during this period. Overall, The Bird is a fascinating historical artifact that sheds light on the cultural and musical traditions of the late 18th century.With A Number Of New, Spirited, And Genteel Toasts, Sentiments, And Hobnobs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
