About This Book
THIS is a story of popular song, nothing more. It does not aim at being either critical or instructive, but only entertaining. My grateful thanks are due to all those— composers, singers, authors, publishers — who have so generously responded to my appeals for assistance in my endeavour to effect the object I had in view. H.S .

Note: I have had to move the Illustrations pages to the end of the book to facilitate consecutive page numbering, they now start at page 450. Rod
