This is a blurb from a sold listing on Bauman Rare Books website...

PALMER, John Williamson, editor. Folk Songs. New York and London: Charles Scribner and Sampson Low, Son, 1861. Quarto, contemporary full brown morocco, elaborately gilt-decorated spine and boards, patterned end papers, all edges gilt.

John Williamson Palmer’s selection of popular British and American lyrics, handsomely bound in elaborately gilt-tooled morocco.

This elegant volume collects folk songs ranging from anonymous madrigals and ballads to verses by such notable wordsmiths as Longfellow, Tennyson, Burns and Shakespeare. Editor John Williamson Palmer was a popular poet in his own right, perhaps best known for his work “Stonewall Jackson’s Way,” written just prior to the battle of Antietam; a copy, in fact, was found on a fallen Confederate soldier’s body after the fighting. Illustrated with numerous in-text vignettes and printed facsimile autographs.

Shipped in a sturdy box wrapped carefully in layers of protective bubble wrap. Insured, Priority Mail.

Amazing Find!!
