A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT OF THE WORKS OF CHARLES DIBDIN.

1774. *The Cave of Enchantment, an Entertain- ment of Music and Dancing. The music by Mr. Dibdin. Sadler's Wells.

The only knowledge I have of this piece is from advertisements ; it is in no list of Dibdin's works. The list given in his ' Musical Tour' (1788) does not, however, include the titles of twenty-four Sadler's


Written and composed by Dibdin ; produced 17 August, 1774.

1774. *The Songs, &c., in 'The Cobler.' Printed by T. Becket. Price Qd.

It is probable that the vocal score of this piece was published, and that more or less of the music appeared contemporaneously in


Wells pieces which he claimed to have pro- other forms, but I have not seen any positive duced. I have recovered a number of them I evidence of it.

1775. *Harlequin Neptune ; an entertainment of

Dibdin.
