15906Early eighteenth century. Another later version published in the Gentleman's Magazine London May 1744. 2pp. on both sides of a strip of 35.5 x 11.5 cm laid paper with fleur-de-lys watermark. In a secretary hand employing the thorn and long s. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. An untitled forty-line poem divided into five numbered eight-line stanzas. The narrator is an older married woman advising a younger woman not to marry with observations on the frailties of the male sex. The first stanza reads: 'Ere ye. read ys. ye. may suppose. That some new listed Lover. By means of Poetry has chose. His Passion to discover. Know Faire one I am a Matron Grave Which Time & Care has wasted And would thy Youth from sorrow save Which I have in Wedlock tasted.' A variation of the poem was published in the Gentleman's Magazine May 1744 with the title 'The MATRON's Advice to a YOUNG LADY A new BALLAD. Tune Sally.' The grammar of the Gentleman's Magazine version is more modern in tone its first line reading: 'Ere you read this you may suppose' and the variations are most apparent in the third stanza including 'Beset thy dwelling' in the published version for 'Surround thy Threshold' in the manuscript; 'heedless' for 'regardless'; 'Pass all your minutes' for 'Thy Moments pass on'; 'While flames are offer'd at our shrine And Men like Idols sue us' for 'Darts flames & hoards adorn Our shrine And Awful Hymen woo us.'

40506New York: H. De Marsan n.y. Broadside. 6¼" X 10". Very good. Numerous edge chips along right side and bit on lower edge only slightly encroaching on decorative border. This crudely printed broadside ballad undated but circa 1861 includes a thick decorative patriotic border featuring red and blue stars and stripes olive-branch clutching American Eagle etc. with publisher's data "H. De Marsan Publisher / 54 Chatham St. / N.Y." at bottom center of border. Sung to the tune of "Marshal Ney" a popular tune celebrating the Napoleonic figure this Civil War tune celebrates the 69th New York Infantry Regiment the "Fighting Irish" or "Fighting Sixty-Ninth." Two stanzas and one chorus are featured the chorus reading: "Right and left -- left and right: / We fought the Rebels with all our might; / Brave CORCORAN did wounded fall / And HAGGERTY died by a Traitor's ball." Irish-born Michael Corcoran 1827-63 led the 69th at the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861 in which he was taken prisoner and Irish-born Captain James Haggerty the first member of the 69th to die was reportedly killed by a Louisiana Zouave which also included many Irishmen. These "penny ballads" were all the rage during much of the 19th century and were invariably printed on thin delicate stock and sold by street vendors. A quite attractive example of this rare survivor. Inkstamped on verso is "Geo. F. Hambrecht" -- a well-known Civil War collector and noted Lincoln scholar 1871-1943 who founded the Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin and served as director of the Wisconsin State Board of Vocational Education.

That's Where You're Wrong' includes references to emigration to Canada a spirited revolutionary song: "Rise Britons rise and ring your voices thro' the land…"<br /> <br /> This is a broadside ballad were sold for half a penny or penny on the streets in London Manchester and other British cities during the 19th century. Once newspapers became more widespread and cheaper they largely displaced this type of street literature. Printed on cheap tissue paper they included religious warnings political arguments satire comedy bawdy tales crime news fantastic tales love and relationship advice and calls for social reform. In some cases the printer would suggest a familiar tune that would fit the lyrics provided. Most had a woodcut illustration although it may have been unrelated to the subject matter. Many broadside ballads in London were printed in the Seven Dials district. They were sold in large numbers on street corners in squares and at fairs by travelling ballad singers and also pinned on the walls of alehouses where they were sung and read. However because they were meant to be disposable presaging both the consumer culture and mass media relatively few have survived. 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches toned edges chipped fold line repaired. H.

"Now list ye landmen all to me To tell you truth I'm bound What happen'd to me by going to sea…"<br /> <br /> According to Burl Ives this tune was based on an old Irish air. John and Alan Lomax collected it in Nova Scotia in 1921 from a man who said it was a song he'd known since he was a boy - "one of thoses that used to be roared out in the back rooms of taverns frequented by seamen forty or so years ago."<br /> <br /> This is a broadside ballad were sold for half a penny or penny on the streets in London Manchester and other British cities during the 19th century.
