Irish Street Ballads

[moderate external age-toning and light edgewear, tiny tear in paper spine covering at top front hinge, external cracks and wrinkles in spine but binding intact, one-time owner's name and address in brown felt-tip ink at top of front endpaper]. (woodcut illustrations) A collection of 102 songs (music and words), "all well worth singing," many with wonderful titles like "There's Whiskey in the Jar," "The Women Are Worse Than the Men," and "The Foot and Mouth Disease." Quite a few are "now first published, and nearly all of them are adorned with woodcuts taken from old Dublin broadsheet ballads," and the book also contains "a few notes appended for the guidance of those who delight in delving for further fragments of forgotten lore." (The publication statement for the edition (marked as "Third Impression" on the rear cover) is: "Copyright 1939; revised and reprinted 1946, 1952.")
