The common popular ſongs and national muſic, as they form a favourite entertainment of the Gay and the Chearful, ſeem likewiſe to merit ſome regard from the Speculative and Refined, in ſo far as they exhibit natural and ſtriking traits of the character, genius, taſte and purſuits of the people. (English)
The favourable reception of the firſt edition of this collection, and the frequent demands for it ſince it has become ſcarce, encouraged the Editor to extend and arrange it in the form which it now wears. The reader will find here all the ſongs contained in the former edition, with the addition of nearly an equal number. (English)
