From the Introductory Note: "This collection of songs, which is believed to be somewhat novel in form and purpose, originated in the thought that many of the poems in St. Nicholas merited a musical setting. With this in mind, original contributions were invited from various American and English composers, and from their responses the following one hundred and twelve songs were chosen". "The collection is especially intended for home use". "Sentimental and pathetic themes are generally omitted, while the naive and humorous fancies of childhood are extensively represented. Many lullabies and mothers' songs are also included".
