The Mother Goose - Containing All the Melodies the Old Lady Ever Wrote #248644

AN edition of the real, original, and uncorrupted melodies of Mother Goose has long been desired by the lovers of ancient poetry. Being myself a lineal descendant of that venerable person, and having in my possession all her original manuscripts with her latest corrections, I was fortunately able to supply this want in a manner which shall leave nothing further to be desired. The present edition, therefore, which I have edited with great care and immense labour, may hence forward be considered the standard edition — the family edition, setting at nought all editions of outside perso ages who have no connexion with the Goose Family.
