About This Item
Printed and Published by G. and R. Johnson, Prospect Hill, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1896. FIRST EDITION. Large 8vo, 224 x 148 mms., pp. xxxvi, 225, 225 - 265, with pages 224 - 265 being music for the songs, errata slip at end, stiff paper covers, original paper wrappers, with title in red and black on front cover and engraved vignettes; wrapper defective at spine and lower front joint. Although Arthur William Moore (1853 - 1909) was a business man and politician, books like this made him an important Manx scholar. He has no illusions or false perceptions about these songs: "The next thing that strikes us in the survey of our little field is that the songs are so few in number, and, in quality, so trifling, so unromantic, so unpoetical, and so modern."
