Description

Pre-printed and pre-bound book with handwritten instrumental dance music, much of it with American patriotic themes. The inside cover has the following inscription: "[name erased] from his friend Cassius Lee June 1796." and "Let C. Lee have 8 best quils and 8 second best." The first page contains an unfinished table of contents. A large portion of the middle of the volume is blank although the pages continue to be numbered until after 200. The last few pages again have content, although they are un-numbered, including a printed "Sacred Music" catalog page. Song titles include: The Dukes of Hostines(?)
