Does anyone have access to "Welsh Melodies"?
There are four volumes to "Welsh Melodies". The first two were published in 1862, the third in 1870, fourth 1874.
It would be good to know whether or not it is published there.
Thomas Oliphant wrote his own version of lyrics to many Welsh and German songs. Carolina Oliphant (Lady Nairne) did exactly the same thing except she to Scottish songs (which she did not need to translate). Her grandfather and Thomas's great grandmother were siblings.
