Hi folks- I am working on a project tracking down sources and tunes for Jack Downing's Songbook, published in 1836. Jack Downing was a pseudonym for Seba Smith, a writer of political satire. Born in Buckfield, Maine, he took on the character of a righteous Downeast curmudgeon to poke fun at the politicians of the time. the dedication of the songbook to Andrew Jackson is hilarious.
His collection of songs is quite eclectic, mostly the standard Burns, Walter Scott, patriotic stuff (Hail Columbia etc.) but here are some really intriguing pieces in here (Merrily dance 'round the Mistletoe Tree) that I would love to identify. thereare about 200 songs total, lyrics only.

Anyone know anything about this book? I found it in the Library of Congress and they photocopied it for me.
Cheers- Julia
