| Summary: | Description: The Leyden music book, containing songs with words, dance tunes, and psalm tunes. 1639. There is a note by John Leyden inside the front cover, dated Edinburgh, 5 March, 1800, stating that the manuscript was formerly owned by the Reverend Mr Cranston of Jedburgh, whose library was sold in 1788. It was formerly owned by a schoolmaster from the Border. "It is still very common for Parochial school-masters and teachers of music to write out such collections for their own use." He also notes that it was loaned to Alexander Campbell in 1795 when he was writing his Introduction to Scottish Poetry. |
