J. W. ELLIOTT.

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS, ENGRAVED BY THE BROTHERS DALZIEL

LONDON: NOVELLO AND COMPANY, LIMITED.
NEW YORK : THE H. W. GRAY CO., SOLE AGENTS FOR THE U.S.A.

PREFACE.

T HE present volume is intended as a contribution to what may
be justly considered a not unimportant department of our
national song literature the Nursery Rhymes namely, which seem
appointed, by tacit and universal consent, to be "said or sung," and
to be listened to, with unwearied interest and appreciation, in those
great National Institutions the British Nursery and Home School-
room. To all who are interested in the selection of books for children
the book is now offered by the Publishers, with the hope that it may gain
general and extended approbation. Especial pains have been taken to
secure the suffrage of that still larger public, in petticoats and knicker-
bockers, whom a genial English writer of the last century, who loved
children, and spoke and wrote of them with infinite tenderness and
affection, describes as masters in all the learning on the other side of
eight years old."
If it be true-as asserted by one of the greatest of Englisn critics
and authors-that Sir Roger de Coverley and Mr. Spectator are more
real than nine-tenths of the heroes of the last century, and that almost
the only autobiography to be received entirely without distrust and
disbelief is that of one ROBINSON CRUSOE, Mariner, of York-then
surely those important personages, JACK and JILL, HUMPTY DUMPTY,

PREFACE.

and my LADY WIND, are real and distinct entities in the mind of

every little child whose nursery education has not been entirely and

unwarrantably neglected; and therefore it has seemed good to the

Publishers to present to the children of the present day the adventures

of those heroes, embellished with whatever pictorial illustration, careful

selection, musical accompaniment, and the advantages of artistic typo-

graphy and detail can contribute, to render them more acceptable to

all English children.

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.

In his own family he has found a young jury ready to test the various

tunes, and has composed only such melodies as were likely to meet with

prompt acceptance, and be easily remembered.

The pictorial illustrations of the book have been designed under

the superintendence of, and engraved by, the BROTHERS DALZIEL.
Among the old favourites a few new aspirants to popularity

will be found; but it is hoped that their presence will be considered

an additional attraction. and in no way lessen the pretensions of the
present volume to be considered a compendium of National Nursery

Rhymes.
