About This Item
A well-preserved early nineteenth-century English chapbook of popular ballads and ditties.
This publication of eight pages is one of a series; each part being separately issued and individually titled 'A Garland of New Songs' with a different woodblock print. Such songbooks were sold for a few pennies and capture ephemeral melodies of the era, usually nostalgic and romantic songs. This particular chapbook is most interesting as it includes a contemporary lament for Nelson who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
