These are not individual pieces of sheet music, but 11 songs published together. Contents: "My Boy Tammy," A Scotch Ballad [words by Hector MacNeill; arranged by John S. Macgregor] -- Oh, My Love's Bonny: A Celebrated Scotch Ballad; words by J. Finlayson; music by J. M. Muller -- There's No Land Like Scotland: A Ballad; composed by Edward J.

The 10th song, Afton Water, has music by Richard Guin, described as "A Pupil of the Pennsylvania Institute for Instructing the Blind." The Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind (now Overbrook School for the Blind) was established in Philadelphia in 1832 by Julius Reinhold Friedlander, a German teacher of blind and visually impaired children. This suggests that the collection was published in Philadelphia around 1840. Another song by Guin was published in 1842 by Godey and McMichael in The Amateur's Musical Library. Very scarce. In Good Condition: lacking wrapper; first leaf and last are detached but present; light foxing throughout; otherwise, clean and solid.
