Transcriber’s Notes
Missing punctuation was added to abbreviations, contractions, ends of sentences, and list entries at the end of the book. Missing and unprinted letters were added. Where letters were printed upside down, they were considered printer’s errors and were corrected (e.g. Chorns/Chorus, hobe/hope, ofteu/often). The first three entries to the contents of Union Songbook No. 1 are missing letters in the original. The last entry to contents of Dime Song Book No. 2 is out of alphabetical order in the original. In handheld devices, words in small caps and gesperrt in the original appear as bold.
