Notes
"In the arrangement of this portion of the volume, especial care has been taken by Mr. Elliott to keep the songs strictly within the capacity of children's execution, and the compass of children's voices... Among the old favorites a few new aspirants to popularity will be found; but it is hoped that their presence will be considered an additional attraction, and in no way lessen the pretentions of the present volume to be considered a compendium of National Nursery Rhymes"--preface, p. [3]
Nine of the songs have verses by M.L. Elliott.
Engraved illustrations accompanying each song, variously signed Ernest Griset, FAF, W. Small, WJW, EGD, HMS, Z, and Dalziel sc.
"Katherine C. Newbold"--inscription in black ink on recto of fly-leaf.
