‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ and ‘Hail Columbia’ are shown in the Table
of Contents on pages 76 and 77, respectively. Neither appears in this
volume. ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ appears in Dime Song Book 1, and
‘Hail Columbia’ appears in Dime Song Book 3.
Words in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like this_.
Within text of poems, missing punctuation was added to the end of
sentences. Missing commas and periods were added to ends of index
entries. The last page of the book was damaged along the right edge.
Missing letters were added to complete words in the damaged section.
In the Table of Contents, ‘Begone, Secesh’ was changed to ‘Begone,
Sesesh’ to match the spelling in the poem on page 43. In other lyrics,
the word is spelled ‘Secesh’ and was not changed.
