Comment Part of Hanway’s “Proposal for County Naval free-Schools”, the Songs etc. has a separate title-page. This section, pp 113-41, is preceded by a prose proposal and followed by the music for the songs. The folio edition contains handsome copperplate engravings but a prefatory note refers to the duodecimo edition, which lacks the plates but has “the advantage of being portable.”

This edition has been verified by examining the copy in the library with the shelfmark noted above.
