Back to Jerry Buck

JERRY BUCK. English, Reel (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. The Adventures of Jerry Buck was an 18th century book by John Slade that was explained by its publisher, Thomas Osborne:

'A Collection of Voyages and Travels some now first printed from Original Manuscripts, others now first published in English with a General Preface, giving an Account of the Progress of Trade and Navigation, from its first Beginning: In Eight Volumes in Folio, Price Nine Guineas neatly bound; collected by the learned Mr. John Locke. Illustrated with several hundred useful Maps and Cuts. Containing Views of the different Countries, Cities, Towns, Forts, Ports and Shipping. Also the Birds, Beasts, Fish, Serpents, Trees, Fruits and Flowers; with the habits of the different Nations, all elegantly engraved on Copper-Plates.

The invocation of the famous philosopher wikipedia:John Locke (1632-1704) would be known and of interest to a certain learned clientele. Osborne was a bookseller in London and did not have a good reputation. He was accounted uncouth, impolite and ignorant of literature by the social and political elites of the era; not that it mattered to his business. He was also accused (with some veracity) of paying his authors little, while charging his customers excessively. Pope and Johnson were among his critics, the former excoriating Osborne in a satirical poem, The Dunciad^[1].
