PREFACE. 
 
 ' I 'HIS catalogue is printed and circulated privately in the hope that it 
 -*- may prove a useful instalment towards a Bibliography of Song Books ; 
 that it is only an instalment will be obvious to everyone acquainted with 
 the wide sphere of this literature. Considering the great interest of the 
 books themselves from many points of view, it seems surprising that no 
 one apparently has hitherto attempted this task. I am indebted for much 
 assistance and useful advice to my friend, Mr. W. A. Barrett, whose know- 
 ledge of the subject is as wide as his own collection is invaluable. Mr. 
 Taphouse, of Magdalen Street, Oxford, has often given me generous help 
 towards making. imperfect books perfect, and has presented me with dupli- 
 cates, none the less valuable to me because not required by him. I must 
 express my gratitude to my children, J. F. R., E. C, and C. L., for having 
 compiled this for the press, and I can only hope that the collection will be 
 still thought worthy of their care in the not far distant time when it will 
 have the additional value of being a memorial of bygone days.
