The book is a collection of popular music from the late 1700's onwards. The music was hand written by my Great Granddfather, an engraver from Louth. It is believed that he collected the songs for a Glee Club. The book includes a hand written transcript of Les Marseilles (The French National Anthem) - newly written around that time.
