Excerpt from Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Music: A Collection of the Most Favorite Tunes of Billings, Swan, Holden, Read, Kimball, Ingalls and Others; To Which Is Added a Variety of Anthems and Choruses, and Divers Patriotic and Other Songs of the Greatest and Best Composers Wishing to avoid all appearance of catch-penny, I have never sought to supply this demand; but have always referrer them to the reprints of the day, - particularly to the Continental Harmony, published by the Messrs. Ditson Co. Of Boston I should not have engaged in the preparation of this, had not the necessity arisen for such a work, in connection with my future plans for Concerts and Conventions, upon a more extended scale than has ever marked my former efforts. I propose that all our patrons shall become members of my class. For the time being - all sing with us, or at least have the opportunity to do so. For this purpose I need a cheap book, with tunes judiciously selected from the best authors. Such is here presented, and at a price any one of its gems would ordinarily command.
