Poems, on National Subjects, compiled from
various sources, by w. MCary, Phiadel-
pha-The first volume is patriotic-the second
naval, and the third military These volumes are
purely an American collection OF songs and ballads
They originally scattered through files of ma
gaines, newspapers and other periodicals, common
| song books, and stall ballads. Files OF newspapers
from the period of Braddock's defeat to the death
of President Harrison, have been ransacked. Many
songs OF great popularity at the time they were COM
posed are here published, which no where else
to be found These volumes not only contain all
The well know pc ular American songs, but they also
contain many valuable historical facts and reminis-
cences connected with them-among which will be
found the origin of the national air, Yankee Doc
die, of the national song, :" Hail Columbia" &c.
&c. Not fair specimen OF the volumes, but as
bit of doggerel curiosity illustrative OF the esprit du
Jour, we give the following =
