The DIME TEXT and HAND-BOOKS have won a permanent place in the market for such works. The motto, “incomparable in excellence, unapproachable in price,” especially attaches to these little volumes--each one of which is a pocket encyclopædia on its subject. To the housekeeper, to young people, and to those interested in games, etc., these books are truly valuable. The DIME FAMILY and SCHOOL series aims to supply a class of text-books and manuals fitted for every person’s use--the old and the young, the learned and the unlearned. They have won the heartiest commendations of eminent educational men, and bid fair to find their way into schools and families generally. The DIME SONG BOOKS possess one feature which renders them _incomparably_ the best in the market. Beadle & Co. have the _exclusive_ right to use words of songs issued by most of our music publishers. Thus, most of the popular songs of the day can only be had (words) in the Dime Song series. ☞ Beadle’s Dime Publications can be had of Newsdealers generally; or, they will be sent, POST-PAID, to any address, on receipt of price--Ten Cents for each book ordered. Catalogues supplied _free_, on application. Address BEADLE AND COMPANY, General Dime Book Publishers, 118 William Street, New York. Transcriber’s Notes ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ and ‘Hail Columbia’ are shown in the Table of Contents on pages 76 and 77, respectively. Neither appears in this volume. ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ appears in Dime Song Book 1, and ‘Hail Columbia’ appears in Dime Song Book 3. Words in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like this_. Within text of poems, missing punctuation was added to the end of sentences. Missing commas and periods were added to ends of index entries. The last page of the book was damaged along the right edge. Missing letters were added to complete words in the damaged section. In the Table of Contents, ‘Begone, Secesh’ was changed to ‘Begone, Sesesh’ to match the spelling in the poem on page 43. In other lyrics, the word is spelled ‘Secesh’ and was not changed.
