A book recently appeared on eBay called The Royal Naval Songbook. This was edited by W Guise Tucker and was circa 1870. Unfortunately it went for more money than I was prepared to pay. The index however did list a song called Admiral Blake, which was attributed to C H Purday. Has anybody got a copy of this? It will be quite a rare book I think and I can't find any trace of it being published separately.
