Excerpt from The Mother Goose: Containing All the Melodies the Old Lady Ever Wrote

AN edition of the real, original, and uncorrupted melodies of Mother Goose has long been desired by the lovers of ancient poetry. Being myself a lineal descendant of that venerable person, and having in my possession all her original manuscripts with her latest corrections, I was fortunately able to supply this want in a manner which shall leave nothing further to be desired. The present edition, therefore, which I have edited with great care and immense labour, may hence forward be considered the standard edition - the family edition, setting at nought all editions of outside perso ages who have no connexion with the Goose Family.
