Scattered light foxing, minor spotting to title page. (1)-31 pp. Signed by Haydn at foot of title page. "Haydn's English songs, composed during his residence in London, are mostly settings of lyrical texts by the dedicatee, Mrs. John Hunter. [The English Canzonettas] are on a higher level than his two German collections... The character of the songs is different and the musical setting clearly more ambitious. The accompaniment is much more elaborate, the texture and harmonies more refined and the melodies themselves more expressive than in the earlier songs" (New Grove, 8: 357). Hoboken, XXVIa, nos. 25-30, vol. 2, pp. 254-55; New Grove, 8: 368
