"Cover and spine title: Mother Goose's melodies set to music. Music composed by James William Elliott. "In the arrangement of the musical portion of the volume, especial care has been taken by Mr. Elliott to keep the songs strictly within the capacity of children's execution, and the compass of children's voices. ... Among the old favorites a few new aspirants to popularity will be found; but it is hoped that their presence will be considered an additional attraction"--preface, p. [3]. Includes some verses by M.L. Elliott. The English edition of this work appeared under the title "National nursery rhymes and nursery songs." "Swift's combination toy blocks. ... McLoughlin Bros., 71 & 73 Duane Street, N.Y."--publisher's advertisement, lower cover, one copy in hand. McLoughlin Bros., Inc. was located at 71 & 73 Duane St. between 1871 and 1886. The earliest McLoughlin publisher's catalogue held by the American Antiquarian Society that was printed at this address was issued ca. 1875. The description of Swift's combination toy blocks printed on the cover of the issue in hand matches that found in the publisher's catalogue, except that the cover advertisement states that set no. 2 contains 52 blocks, while the publisher's catalogue describes set. no. 2 as having 50 blocks. This information is repeated in the catalogue for 1876-77, and by 1879, set no. 2 is advertised as containing 100 blocks. Last page blank. Cover printed in color. Cover design signed by Edward P. Cogger. Illustrations engraved by the brothers Dalziel after designs by F.A. Fraser, Fs. Walker, William Small, Ernest Griset, Thomas Dalziel, H. French, J.B. Zwecker, W.J. Wiegand, E.G. Dalziel, J.
