"The editor ... thought it desirable to publish an annotated compilation of traditional nursery melodies ... In doing so, he has taken as the basis of his work Halliwell's well-known and excellent collection of 'Nursery rhymes of England;' ... On the other hand, he has added from various sources a number which are familiar to American children"--Preface, vi, signed "G.A.R.," and dated at Boston, November 6, 1869. Includes a genealogical essay on "The Goose or Vergoose family.", p. [xi]-xix. Also includes Mother Goose rhymes set to music by "Mr. Moulton," (i.e., Charles Moulton), p. 162-171. "To John Fleet Eliot, the great-great-grandson of Elizabeth Goose, known wherever the English language is spoken as Mother Goose"--dedication, p. [iii]. Copyright 1869 by Hurd and Houghton. "Riverside, Cambridge: stereotyped and printed by H.O. Houghton and Company."--title page verso. Title page printed in red and black ink. In green cloth. Wood engravings signed by "Harley."
