The Golden Treasure of Songs & Lyrics by Francis T. Palgrave | 1900 Antique Compilation of Poetry

The Golden Treasury of Songs & Lyrics was compiled and edited by Francis T. Palgrave originally in 1861. This is a revised and enlarged edition published by Macmillan & Company in 1900. Mr. Palgrave explains his approach to the text as follows...

"This little collection differs, it is believed, from other in the attempt made to include in it all the best original Lyrical pieces andSongs in our langue (save a few regretfully omitted on account of length), by writers not living - and none beside the best."
