Notes:
  • John Marshall was in business from ca. 1800 to at least 1823.
  • Without music.
  • Title vignette.
  • First sentence of The bonny Scotch lad and his bonnet so blue: "At Kingston upon Hull, a town in Yorkshire, I lived in splendour and free from love's care, I rolled in riches and had sweethearts not a few, I'm wounded by a bonny boy and his bonnet so blue."
  • First sentence of The blackbird: "Upon a fair morning, for soft recreation, I heard a fair lady was making her moan, With sighing and sobbing, and sad lamentation, Saying my blackbird most royal has flown."
  • First sentence of My sails dear shall guard my pillow: "Ah, when my love is gone from me, Again to brave the stormy sea, How oft will whistling winds, at night, My timid, love-lorn heart affright, While lying on my sleepless pillow, I sign, 'Ah me! My love's at sea, And toss'd upon the roaring billow.'"
  • First sentence of Bundle of truths: "Barney Bodkin broke his nose, Want of money makes us sad, Without feet we can't have toes, Crazy folks are always mad: A farthing rushlight's very small, Doctors wear large bushy wigs, One that's dumb can never bawl, Pickled pork is made of pigs."
