Sydney : G. Hudson Co., 377 Pitt Street North, [1849, or earlier]. Folio, disbound, with later paper spine, engraved cover with calligraphic lettering in a variety of fonts, 5 pp of music notation; a very good copy. A scarce Sydney sheet music imprint from the pre-gold rush period. Only two copies of this edition are recorded in Australian collections: the National Library of Australia, in its Musica Australis collection, holds a copy of the third edition inscribed Jane Elisabeth Boston July 23rd 1849 , which helps greatly in determining an approximate publication date; the State Library of New South Wales also holds a copy, to which it ascribes a broad date range of 1840 to 1860.
