It was under his command that 90 troops opened fire on a gathering of unarmed civilians, including women and children, gathered at the Jallianwalla Bagh to participate in the annual Baisakhi celebrations of religion and culture. The people were unaware of the martial law that had been imposed because they were from outside the city. It is thought that over 1,000 were killed and more than 1,200 wounded. The deliberate infliction of these massive casualties earned General Dyer the infamous epitaph of the 'Butcher of Amritsar' in India.

Field's imprint. It is possible that, while one of these is really Field's production, the other is a foreign or pirated edition. But it is not easy to determine which is the 'genuine', and which the 'spurious' Bible. Text to the 'genuine' edition ends on Zz 12 b, and there is no Apocrypha. The Bible present in this lot is considered to be the 'Spurious' edition in the BM catalogue; though Fry and Lenox call it 'genuine.' It is more correctly printed than Nos 662 and 663; yet it has some of the same mistakes, e.g. Jer. ii. 26, chief for thief. Headline Hh 2 b, Jesaiah. Two varieties occur. This volume is variety A, with the words Appointed... on the general title. In variety B the title lacks the words Appointed... Unlike the other edition, the text in this volume ends on Ddd 12b and there is no Apocrypha (Herbert, Darlow & Moule).

Rare. First published in 1654 as A breefe introduction to the skill of musick eighteen editions were published, the last in 1730. According to Charles Burney, author of A General History of Music (1776-89), the book "contained no late discoveries, no new doctrines either in the theory or practice of the art; yet the form, price, and style were so suited to every kind of musical readers that it seems to have been more generally purchased and read, than any elementary musical tract that ever appeared in this or any other country."Second item: Inscribed by the composer and signed with initials 'W.B.' at foot of first volume and numbered 'No. 140'. Charles Burney wrote that these Sonatas were "more generally purchased and performed and admired than any productions of the kind in this kingdome except those of Corelli. They were not only in constant use, as chamber Music, in private concerts, for which they were originally designed, but in our theatres, as act-tunes, and in public gardens as favourite pieces, during many years."
