The American Antiquarian Society holds several variations of this title with different covers and layout.Our example includes the text "In the arrangement of the musical 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..."--preface, p. [3]" It also has a printed '4' in the lower inner gutter on page (49) and a printed '6' in the lower gutter of page (81), both in a much larger typeface than the song words.
