I recall reading that the "Princess Royal" was the name of a ship, rather than a member of royalty.

I have always been curious as to how Carolan's music was recorded. There are various comments on arrangements I have seen (eg that an f was changed to an f-sharp) to lead me to believe there must be an "original" source. Did he write down his music, or did someone transcribe it later (or at the time)?
