Printed on recto are the lyrics of 18 songs, including The fatal wedding, and advertisement for 11 songbooks from the Songster series; 18 more songbooks advertised on verso, along with 3 Irish songbooks, and 19 general publications, (a few adorned with rather racist illustrations).

Also includes two German titles advertised in German black-letter. Not found in OCLC.
