Excerpt from A Bibliography of Early Secular American Music I regret that circumstances prevented me from visiting the Newberry Library, Chicago. I also wish to state that since this preface was first written I have added no titles except those which came under my personal supervision at the Library of Congress. While, therefore, my sins of omission may have become more numerous during the last three years, I hope that the book does not really show the wrinkles of age. I also had access to the famous library of Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker of Philadelphia, to the exceedingly interesting archives of the Hopkinson family in Philadelphia and to the manu scripts of Francis Hopkinson in possession of his descendant, Mrs. Florence Scovel Shinn of New York City.
