I do not find any references to your Ms. Perry. Likewise, I cannot find a copy of the 1917 version available for sale. It is listed in the loc.gov (library of congress) catalogue. However, I cannot find Campbell to be assoicated with the book either.
It appears you have a rare find, here is a newer one for sale.
English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. Vol 2. London; OUP, 1952.2nd edition hardback, no dustwrapper. Blue cloth boards very slightly age-worn, but overall VG. A very nice copy of an extremely scarce title. Two hundred and two songs collected by Cecil Sharp in the southern Appalachians at the beginning of the 20th century. Bookseller Inventory #758
