Excerpt from National, Patriotic and Typical Airs of All Lands: With Copious NotesIt was the compiler's intention to give a few examples of the best modern patriotic songs of our land, but he was compelled to abandon his project. It is popularly supposed that this country is poor in patriotic songs, but instead of finding this to be the fact he discovered such a great number that no volume of ordinary size could contain them.Many of them are excellent compositions and well fitted to serve the purpose of their creation.Quite a number of the airs came to the compiler without harmonic treatment of any description, he has endeavored to supply that deficiency, but in no instance has he altered the melodic design of any of the airs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
