1868594960Boston: White Smith & Compy 1868. Softcover. Very Good. Presumably the first edition. Folio. A single bifolium with a single-sheet-insert making six pages. Edgewear including some nicking to the top and bottom of the fold light offsetting throughout and rubbing to the unprinted back cover affecting the printed verso though the music remains clear and legible. Song for voice contralto or baritone and piano with pedal marks. Plate number 10. The piece credits the words to Charles Dickens but they are actually written by Adelaide Anne Procter who had poems published in Dickens' periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round. The lyrics to this song are from her poem "The Cradle Song of the Poor" which was published in her collection Legends and Lyrics: First Series which had an introduction by Dickens. Procter was a very popular poet in her time and a dedicated philanthropist. Both on the page and off her work focused on poverty and homelessness and in particular the women who were forced to navigate these obstacles.
