Scope and content
Contains a collection of songs by British composers John Wilson, John Hilton, William Webb and William Lawes. Songs include text underlay.
Note
The scrapbook consists of nine music manuscript fragments taken from four leaves that originally belonged to 3 unrelated manuscripts. Before conservation treatment the music was pasted into the scrapbook which meant the verso side of the fragments were crossed out and covered up.
Songs listed in the Folger index of first lines.
"Deere give me a thousand kisses" and "Lawne as white as driven snow" are similar to the 1660 printed edition of these songs.
This is a PRELIMINARY RECORD. It contains unverified data from catalog cards and may contain incorrect or incomplete information. Please email catalog@folger.edu for assistance.
