From the notes on the manuscript by Matt Seattle and taken from the Farne website:-
This tune book is part of the
Cocks Collection and is now in the Northumberland Record Office
at Gosforth, with photocopies at the Black Gate and Morpeth
Chantry. The book is a real miscellany of styles, and covers the
gamut of 19th century light music. It is anonymous, and
evidently the work of several different hands, but nevertheless
has some traditional items of interest, including some rare and
unique tunes. Only a selection is given here, with the
'ballroom' material omitted.
