Item description from seller

Original 1/4 leather with plain boards, with the word "Songs" printed on the spine. Very good condition, rear board chipped. Lacks from endpaper 72 pps. With many songs from the War of 1812. Illustration on the title page of a woman sitting at a piano while looking away to the left. Another edition, with identical bibliographic information, has a completely different title page illustration and typeset. Also, page 70 is totally different from the other state, with this copy having the song "Hark! the Goddess Diana" at the top, though this appears to have been printed in error. The other issue, with the end of "Yankee Doodle" at the top appears to have been the correct printing of this page. American Antiquarian Society has one copy of this songster listed (lacking pp. 5-8) but it is unclear which of the two different illustrations is on the title page.
