Misc. Notes Color scan. (note: The second 8 in 1885 is somewhat blotted out and difficult to read; I suspect a study of Balmer/Weber plates should be done or something similar to check whether this was published in 1885 or 1895. Library of Congress has "1865" for date of publication. This does not however seem to be the music of a 5-year-old, in my opinion, for what that last is worth.) (Probably 1885 - a 1889 revised? edition of the same work for cornet, voice and piano from Balmer & Weber has plate 4792.)
