NOTE

Of the five songs printed at the end of this book, only “La Fille du Roi” has been published before, I believe. “The Holm Bank Hunting Song” and “Poor Old Horse” were sung by competitors for folk-song prizes at the annual Westmoreland Musical Festival, and I owe them to the kindness of Mr. George Rathbone. “The Mowing Song” and “Mary, come into the Field,” were given to me by friends.
