Notes
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'This piece is similar in subject matter to 'Bonny Old England O' given above. It is also old, though obviously, I cannot assign it to a particular date. As a piece of satire it is interesting: no doubt it correctly represents the feelings of the many poor at a time when they were pressed by want and hard circumstances. Obtained of Alfred Smith, Watchfield, Berkshire.'
