About This Item
London; Nd(ca.1865): T. Nelson & Sons. Octavo. 112 pp. Comical illustrations by Keely Halswelle. This work took the well-known nursery rhymes and printed them with both a melody and a separate line for the harmony. (As the author writes in his introduction so that the child might sing the melody and the mother or nurse sing the harmony). Those familiar to the American audience such as Hush-a-Bye Baby, and Little Jack Horner are the same, a few have slightly different words. Some are fairly uncommon such as Tell Tale Fit. Your tongue shall be slit! Bound in beige linen, spine lettering gilt but faded, some soiling to covers, last page appears to have been reglued. A very good copy of an uncommon item. [Shaw, J.M. Childhood in poetry (2nd supp.); T541].
