We express our sincere thanks to our Friends who have contributed to our Little Work, and at same time to advertise them that a number of pieces came late for insertion in the place assigned; it will be seen throughout the Work, that the whole Songs have been classically arranged, and not wishing to break through the arrangements we had made, we have rather declined the insertion of them.

Pocket Songster;
