The Mother's Nursery Songs

Transcriber's Note

Obvious typographical errors were repaired, as listed below. Other apparent archaic spellings, inconsistencies or errors have been retained.

Please note that some of the songs have incorrect or mismatched time signatures or beats in the bar. These have been retained in the images but have been silently altered in the midi representations of the music using the set musical patterns as a guide. Please note that the tempi in the transcriptions are guidelines, and should be adjusted to suit the reader's purpose.

Included PNGs were created from scans from the original pages of the book.
