Exeter : Besley.
Note: For ballad imprints, which are normally signed simply "Besley, printer", this form has been retained for the heading, although most of them were probably printed by Thomas Besley. As none are dated, the date range 1805/40 has been used if they are unable to be dated more closely from the content.
For details of the scope of these imprint registers, see the introduction and key.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/1840. Ballad printer.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Answer to The Enniskillen Dragoon. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - No Enniskillen Dragoon itself in the Besley stock. Other printers: Pitts in Madden, Reel 76, Number 640, Batchelar in Madden, Reel 79, Number 428 and King (Oxford) in Madden, Reel 86, 216 - all under the title, 'Inniskillen'; and then, under 'Enniskillen', Ross, in Madden, Reel 83, Number 467; Walker (Durham) in Madden, Reel 83, Number 660; and Russell in Madden, Reel 88, Number 316. Clift in Cirencester issued an Answer … (Madden Reel 86, Number 569) which is commensurate save that Besley has altered the first four-line . Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

A piece sung by Madame Vestris (and to be found in London Melodist c.1831). For Arab Steed see, for example, as well in various catalogues, Catnach in Madden, Reel 77, Number 313 (there are several other Catnach printings); Pitts in Madden, Reel 76, Number 385; Batchelar in Madden, Reel 79, Number 475, Harkness in Madden, Reel 85, Number 711; and Keys in Madden, Reel 90, Number 25. See also Swindells in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 17(12a); Sharp (London), same source, as Johnson Ballads 11455; and Hodges, same source, as Harding B 11(100).

Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Auld Lanhsyne [sic] . – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - attributed to Burns. The earliest recorded Burns version is that sent to a Mrs. Dunlop in 1788. As with Highland Mary, there are numerous printings, including those from Pitts in Madden, Reel 75, Number 73 and in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 11(3613); Catnach, same source, as Johnson Ballads 260 and in Madden, Reel 77, Number 517 - as Auld Langsyne; Hodges in Madden, Reel 78, Number 315: Ward (Ledbury) in Madden, Reel 87, Number 423; and Pratt in Madden, Reel 88, Number 78.

Exeter. Besley. 1835/40. Printer. The Banks of Allan Water. – Exeter : Besley , [1835/40]. - Horn was involved with another piece, this time arranging but not composing the music for The Banks of Allan Water, the text for which was written by Matthew (Monk) Lewis, c. 1832-1833. Perhaps, in this case, C E Horn adapted a tune existing in sung or Art tradition. He returned to London in 1831 to manage the music at Eliza Vestris' Olympic theatre; went back to America a year later, there to finish his career teaching and conducting in Boston, dying in 1846. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Banks of the Clyde. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - In Pitts and Catnach lists but, in the case of Pitts, it would appear that the piece began, 'When I was young and in my prime' whereas the Besley piece began 'When I was young and youth did bloom'. In the Besley and Catnach form it was also printed by Walker in Durham, Stewart in Carlisle, both Ross and Fordyce in Newcastle, Harkness in Preston, Booth in Selby and Armstrong in Liverpool. Broadside examples include Fordyce (Madden, Reel 83, Number 215); Ross (Madden, Reel 83, Number 542); Harkness (Madden, Reel 85, Number 913). Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Banners of Blue. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - 'Strike up, strike up, Scottish minstrels so gay …' - had good distribution, more or less predictable in its 'descent' from Pitts and Catnach through the mid-century inheritors and others. Harkness printed this piece (Bodleian Allegro archive as 2806 c. 14(99) and so did Ryle, same source, as Harding B 11 52652). Madden copies include those from Pitts (Reel 76, Number 375), Taylor in London (Reel 80, Number 7) and Williams in Portsea (Reel 89, Number 357) . Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Barney Brallaghan's Courtship. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - one of a number of stage-Irish outpourings and the words were written by T Hudson, to music by J Blewitt. Judy Callaghan became Barney's female apotheosis. Birt printed Barney Brallaghan … c.1828-9 and on the same sheet was Judy's Reply to Barney. Catnach printed a piece entitled Barney Brallaghan's Wedding (and Such followed with Pat O'Connor's Wedding … a similar piece involving the by now well-known characters of Pat and Judy). For Barney Brallaghan's Courtship see the Bodleian Allegro archive, without imprint, as Harding B 11(168) where Bayly's name is given as author. Harkness printed the same piece, same source, as Harding B 11(2267). As if to underline popularity Fordyce printed Barney Brallaghan's Courtship (Madden, Reel 83, Number 399) as 'sung by Mr. Dodd', on a sheet entitled Fashionable Songster. There are various other Brallaghan-Callaghan pieces, indicating popularity, such as Barney Brallaghan, from Swindells in Madden, Reel 85, Number 163 and Birt in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 25(124). For Judy Callaghan's Answer to Mr Brallaghan see Madden, n. i., Reel 81, Number 704 and Judy's Reply from Catnach in Madden, Reel 76, Number 208 and Williams in Madden, Reel 89, Number 408.

Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The Cottage Near a Wood. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - appears, for example; in the Bodleian Allegro archive as printed by Quick in London (Harding B 11(4114); Pitts, same source, as Harding B 11(692); and from Batchelar, same source, as Johnson Ballads 3070. Madden copies include Catnach (Reel 77, Number 81), Paul (Reel 78, Number 648), Swindells (Reel 85, Number 174) and, less predictably, Sleath in Stony Stratford (Reel 86, Number 191. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Downhill of Life. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Written by John Collins, the actor, poet, orator and staymaker (1742-1808) … born the son of a tailor in Bath. Originally entitled Tomorrow the piece in question can be found in a publication entitled Flowers of British Poetry… dated 1802 (J Mitchell, Newcastle). Alfred Williams collected a version of Downhill of Life, thus indicating a presence of sorts - if unsupported elsewhere - in sung tradition. Broadside examples are from Pitts in Madden, Reel 76, Number 437; Batchelar in Madden, Reel 79, Number 485, and Russell in Madden, Reel 88, Number 325. The Alfred Williams copy may be found as Gl96 - Frank Purslow's catalogue designation (Gloucestershire. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Draw the Sword. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Scotland had a wide distribution beginning with Pitts and Catnach, Carpue and Hill in London, and then, in the north, Harkness, Walker in Newcastle, Thomson's chapbooks - from Fordyce, and Fordyce himself; Stewart in Carlisle; Heppel and Russell in Birmingham, and then Willey in Cheltenham, Williams in Portsea and Besley. The piece was actually performed by Braham who, as has been seen, is yet another prominent singer to appear in association with Besley stock. And there are one or two Songster references. It had a modestly successful life, then, and may have acted as stimulant for its companion piece as printed by Besley, Follow, Follow over Mountain (below), but in diction and structure seems hardly likely to been widely accepted into traditional sung repertoire.33 - See, further, Pitts in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 11(1194) and in Madden, Reel 75, Number 220, on both of which copies is the information that the piece was sung by John Braham. See also Catnach in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 36(5) and in Madden, Reel 77, Number 343; Carpue in Madden Reel 81, Number 28; Williams in Madden, Reel 89, Number 410; and Willey in Madden, Reel 90, Number 439; plus Moore in Belfast in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 26(151. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Fair Helen. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. Harkness and Williams with usual legacy to Fortey. Fair Helen often appeared as Helen the Fair. For Fair Helen see, for example, Catnach in Madden, Reel 77, Number 83; Fordyce in Madden, Reel 83, Number 279; and Ward in Ledbury as Madden, Reel 87, Number 439. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The Female Auctioneer. - Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Thisappeared, not in the guise offered by the majority of printers - in London, Pitts and Catnach, Phair, Birt (like Hodges, an inheritor), Neeson and Batchelar, or the printings from Pratt in Birmingham, Huntley in Sunderland, or Willey in Cheltenham (elsewhere in catalogues from Fordyce, Birt and Pitts). Pitts in the Bodleian Allegro archive as 2806 c.18(114); Catnach as Harding B 11(195); Birt as Harding B 11(4361) - an inheritance; and Pratt as Harding B 11(1181).12. Besley's is a cut-down version , a rare example of such manipulation of text in the Besley stock. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Follow, Follow over Mountain. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Both Pitts and Catnach carried Follow, Follow over Mountain, a very slight piece indeed. Apart from the two London printers, only Kendrew in York and Besley appear to have taken it up although there are records of it as appearing in Songsters. For Pitts see Bodleian Allegro archive as Firth b. 26(12) and for Kendrew, same source, as Harding B 11(1658). Madden copies are Catnach (Reel 77, Number 292) and Pitts (Reel 76, Number 128). There are printings in Model Song Book 1 (c. 1848), p.151 and Songs of the Day (c.1870), pp.29-30 - the latter from Marr in Glasgow. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Fuddling Day. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Hoggett in Durham, in a printing somewhere between 1816-1843 - the dates of Hoggett's activity, according to the Bodleian - lists it as 'A new song'. Pitts, in one of several printings, calls it Answer to the Washing Day. So does Walker in Norwich and his connection with Pitts has been described before … they may have shared text. Madden copies include Evans in London (Reel 74, Number 97); Pitts (Reel 75, Number 963); Bloomer in Birmingham (Reel 88, Number 53); Cotton in Tamworth (Reel 87, Number 278) and Hurd in Shaftesbury (Reel 90, Number 114). The Bodleian Allegro archive has Evans in Chester as 2806 c. 17(140), Walker in Norwich as Douce ballads 4(52), Hoggett in Durham as Harding B 11(1267), and Croshaw in York as 2806 c. 18(122). The piece appeared earlier rather than in the 1840s. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. God Save the King. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - reputed to have been first heard in pubic in 1740 at a dinner to celebrate Admiral Vernon's taking of Portobello (on the Spanish Main), as arranged by Henry Carey, who claimed it as his own composition. The oldest extant copy of the tune can be found in Harmonia Anglicana, dating from 1743. Broadsides themselves recount a kind of history. Pitts, for example, printed the piece with specific reference to 'Great George our King' - George III (1738-1820) … see Madden, Reel 76, Number 158. So did Catnach, in Madden, Reel 77, Number 353. Rosson in Middlewich referred to George IV (1762-1830) - in the Bodleian Allegro archive as 2806 c. 17(86r). Warwick in Leicester referred to the Queen (Victoria, 1819-1901) in Madden, Reel 87, Number 185, as did Disley in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 11(2093). Other printings include those from Birt in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Johnson Ballads 48 and in Madden, Reel 79, Number 381. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

The piecewas widely printed on broadside with Pitts and Catnach in London, Gibbs in Ledbury and Quick in London extending the familiar range of Harkness, Fordyce, Swindells and so on. Green Hills of Tyrol (sometimes 'Banks') can be found in catalogues and lists which include those of Russell, George Walker, Fordyce and Pitts. Broadside examples include those from Pitts in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 11(1415) and in Madden Reel 76, Number 456; Catnach in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 36(6) and in Madden Reel 77, Number 375; Taylor in London in Madden Reel 80, Number 52; and Gibbs in Madden, Reel 87, Number 395. A late example may be found in Songs of the Day, c.1870 (from Marr in Glasgow. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Highland Mary. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - From Burns, published posthumously in 1799. Pitts printed both four and six stanza versions. Marshall, in Newcastle 1820/31 printed four. Fordyce and Sanderson in Edinburgh printed four. Pollock in North Shields, Bebbington and Jacques in Manchester, Harkness in Preston, Armstrong and Thompson in Liverpool, Stephenson in Gateshead, Hodges and Such all printed six. So did Besley. Brereton in Dublin completely different format. Broadside copies include Pitts (Madden, Reel 75, Number 323 ; Bodleian Allegro archive Harding B 12(37)); Catnach (Madden, Reel 77, Number 129); Fordyce (Bodleian Allegro archive Harding B 11(1547)); Pollock, (Allegro Harding B 11(1546)); Plant of Nottingham (Madden, Reel 87, Number 113); and Chilcot o Leominster (Madden, Reel 87, Number 487).

The Stephens references can be found on Catnach's sheet, The Blackbird, in Madden, Reel 77, Number 642 and (same) in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 36(20). Eliza Vestris' name is found in the Bodleian Allegro archive copy from Pitts as Harding B 11(3005. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The King and the Countryman. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Sometimes The West Countryman. Country printers include Marshall in Newcastle (a catalogue reference only), Wright, Pratt and Russell in Birmingham, Williams in Portsea, Wilson in Cambridge, Swindells in Manchester, Forth in Pocklington, Freeman in Northampton, Mason in Belper. In Devon, both Besley and Keys printed the piece. Pitts (Madden Reel 76, Number 52); Catnach (Madden Reel 77, Number 426); Birt (who offered a parody catalogue 1, 79 and Madden Reel 79, Number 255), Hodges and Disley; Russell (Madden Reel 88, Number 367); Harkness in Preston (Bodleian Allegro archive Harding B 20(105); Universal Songster 3, p.381; Keys (Madden Reel 90, Number 37.8).

Exeter. Besley. 1830/40. Printer. The King of the Cannibal Islands. – Exeter : Besley , [1830/40]. - Broadside texts of The King of the Cannibal Islands include those from Pitts, from Russell in Birmingham and from Baird in Cork, positing a wide-ranging hinterland - and it turns up also in The London Melodist, c.1831, noted as having been issued by Deprose. It subsequently spawned a tune well-known in country dance circles for The Cumberland Reel. It appeared in a Piano Forte Tutor from an A Hughes, c.1830; and is credited as being sung by A W Humphreys 'with great applause at the London concerts', again in 1830. It has been suggested that when such a remark appeared on a sheet this tended to indicate that the piece was new. For Pitts' copy of King of the Cannibal Islands, see Madden, Reel 76, Number 76; for Russell; Madden, Reel 88, Number 341; and for Baird, Madden Reel 91, Number 416. The suggestion about newness comes from a particularly interesting article by Anthony Bennett entitled Rivals Unravelled: A Broadside Song and Dance in Folk Music Journal, Volume 6, Number 4, 1993, pp.420-445. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1820/40. Printer. Kitty of Colrain [sic] . – Exeter : Besley , [1820/40]. - has been attributed to Edward Lysaght, a barrister, wit and writer, born 1793, author also of The Sprig of Shillelagh, who died in 1811. However, Alfred Moffat claimed that the piece was issued in an early nineteenth century chapbook by Kelly in Waterford, and, as such, has to be accounted 'anonymous'. Further, Alfred Graves had already come to a similar conclusion about genesis and dated the piece, tentatively, to around 1790. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The Light Guitar. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Discussed in connection with Merry of Bedford in an earlier piece in this series, a piece from the Barnett- Van Dyke stable, issued, predictably enough, by Catnach and Pitts and by Wright and Harkness and sung by Eliza Vestris. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Love in a Hayband. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. Also Pitts (Madden, Reel 75, Number 495); Harkness (Madden, Reel 85, Number 530); and Williams (Madden, Reel 85, Number 64). Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Lovers All. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - Restricted to Besley and one copy without imprint - tells a tale of a sailor captured by Turks, reminiscent in a slight way of Lord Bateman but, unusually, set off Newfoundland. It seems to have been a piece exploiting wild tales not uncharacteristic of the period when pirates from Algiers captured both sailors and travellers and the imagination, a period older than the Besley imprint. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. Love's Ritornella. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - The Brigand (1829), in turn, provided Love's Ritornella (first appearing with a musical setting by T Cooke. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

Exeter. Besley. 1825/40. Printer. The Maid of Llangollan (sic) . – Exeter : Besley , [1825/40]. - Although the overwhelming evidence for the dissemination of The Maid of Llangollan (sic) lies in broadside printers' catalogues and material including that of Pitts and Catnach and continuing through to mid-century - Birt, Wheeler in Manchester and Keys in Devonport, for instance - there is one reference to the piece in a Songster as having been written by Charles Mathews, with music by John Parry and sung by Charles Mathews, Eliza Vestris' husband, and one other reference indicating that it had been sung by Mathews. Mathews, indeed, had been a celebrated one-man entertainer at a time when theatre audiences demanded and were served variety. He was, for instance, associated with the Adelphi theatre in this guise during the 1820s and 1830s. The Maid … dates from the period 1826-1830. Maid of Langollan [sic] was printed by Catnach and Pitts, found in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Johnson Ballads 284 and Harding B 11(1093) respectively; by Hodges, same course, as Johnson Ballads fol. 59; and, amongst others, by Jackson in Madden, Reel 88, Number 584, Warwick (Leicester) in Madden, Reel 87, Number 220; by Houghton in Worcester, in Madden, Reel 87, Number 326; and by Keys in Madden, Reel 90, Number 35.

Eliza Vestris included it in her repertoire. For Meet me by Moonlight alone, see Wilkinson (Manchester) in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 36(21); Pitts, same source, as Johnson Ballads fol. 121 and in Madden, Reel 76, Number 579; Catnach in Madden, Reel 77, Number 433, Hillat and Martin in Madden, Reel 80, Number 431; Hill (Ballingdon) in Madden, Reel 86, Number 59; Pannell (Liverpool) in Madden, Reel 85, Number 39; and in London Melodist (c.1831), p.182, Model Song Book 2 (c. 1848), p; 235 and Selkirk's Songs and Ballads for the People No. 4 (c.1851), pp.85-86.

There are copies from Catnach in Madden, Reel 77, Number 204; Batchelar (Reel 79, Number 501); Evans in London (Reel 72, Number 1140); Wrighton (Reel 88, Number 790); and Williams (Reel 89, Number 462.

Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The Morn Is Beaming Brightly. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - There is but a single record, other than in Besley: The Universal Songster 3 alludes to a Miss Bryant who sang this; but it does not seem to have had any extended life if the absence of broadsides is taken into account. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly Exeter. Besley. 1825/40. Printer. My Heart and Lute. – Exeter : Besley , [1825/40]. - from Thomas Moore - like The Model found on a Pitts compilation, in this case The Jovial Fellow sheet and on Pitts' sheet The Ladies Concert. Broadsides of My Heart and Lute include those from Pitts in Madden, Reel 76, Number 666b and in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Johnson Ballads, fol. 129; Wright in Madden, Reel 88, Number 784; and Pannell in Liverpool (Madden, Reel 85, Number 39). The piece also appeared in James Kay's National Songster (Edinburgh, 1827), p.163 and The Popular Songster from Glasgow, (1848), p.23. This indicates a fair spread in distribution and time. There were also Answers, for example, on a sheet The Soldier's Delight - in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Johnson Ballads fol 407; from Catnach (Madden, Reel 77, Number 329) and from Smith in Bristol (Madden, Reel 90, Number 341).25 Sir Henry Rowley Bishop composed music for it in 1830.

Exeter. Besley. 1830/40. Printer. Oh No We Never Mention Her. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - (c.1828), Baring Gould recounted the story of a love affair between Bayly and a young lady at Bath which came to nought owing to the financial straits of both parties. Sir Henry Bishop wrote music for the piece. Bayly's piece, Oh, No, we Never Mention Her, can be found as issued by Catnach in Madden, Reel 77, Number 100 (there are several Catnach printings); by Pitts in Madden, Reel 76, Number 53; by Batchelar in Madden, Reel 79, Number 500; by Sharp in London in Madden, Reel 81, Number 596; by Harkness in Madden, Reel 85, Number 693: by Fordyce in Madden, Reel 83, Number 204; by Pratt in Madden, Reel 88, Number 203 and so on … It appeared in Songsters such as The London Melodist (c. 1831), The Model Song Book 1 (c. 1848), and The Comic Minstrel (1850). After mid-century its popularity may have declined since it is not represented in broadside printing terms to any extent. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

Exeter. Besley. 1830/40. Printer. The Spider and the Fly. – Exeter : Besley , [1830/40]. - written by Mary Howitt (1799-1888), was taken into Besley stock. The Spider and the Fly is probably the only piece remembered, appearing first In a publication, The New Years Gift, in 1829. Baring-Gould gave the composer's name as Thomas Hudson and added that 'The air is probably an old nursery jingle, as it was the way with Hudson to write his songs to familiar old airs'. Broadsides include those from Thompson in Liverpool in the Bodleian Allegro archive as 2806 c. 17 (403) 'to be sung to the tune of Will You Come to the Bower'. This use of tune is confirmed in the Universal Songster 2, p.268 where Hudson's name is given. Baring-Gould's comments appear in English Minstrelsie, Vol. I (Edinburgh, T C & E C Jack, 1895), Notes to Songs, p.xxxii. Other printings include those from Harkness in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Firth b 25(408); Pitts, same source as Harding B 11(3622) and Dixon in Workington, same source, as Harding B 25 (1825); plus Horsley in Derby (Madden, Reel 88, Number 783); Hook in Brighton in Madden, Reel 89, Number 215; and Batchelar in Madden, Reel 79, Number 524.

Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. The Storm. – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - written by George Alexander Stevens (1710-1784) though one or two printers credited it to a Mrs Robinson. [Mary Darby Robinson, was certainly an authoress, mistress of the then Prince of Wales. Figured in programmes at the Adelphi theatre, London, during the 1820s. Baring-Gould gave the immediate source as The Muses' Delight in 1754 - published again in Stevens' Songs Comic and Satyrical in 1772 - and various versions of the air as dating from the 1730s. One reference, crediting the piece, erroneously, to Dibdin, gave the information that the music was by one Leveridge. This was Richard Leveridge (1670-1758). Catnach (for example in Madden Reel 77, Number 545), Batchelar and Birt printed The Storm. Songsters included the Convivial Songster, dating from 1782, pp.320-322, Lydian Leaves 1 (c.1830), pp.33-36, 'sung by Mr. Incledon', and the Model Song Book 2 (c. 1846), p.249. The Dibdin-Leveridge reference can be found in Songs of the late Charles Dibdin, 2nd. edn., 1841, pp.278-280. The John and Abraham Hume reference is to Hugh Shields: Some Songs and Ballads in use in the province of Ulster … 1845 in Ulster Folk Life, No. 17 (1971), p.23. The appearance of the piece in Henry Burstow's list in Reminiscences of Horsham (1911) is on p 116. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1835/40. Printer. Sweet Kitty Clover. – Exeter : Besley , [1835/40]. - advertised as A new comic song. One source dates this to 1837. Another gives the information that it was included in the copybook of the grandmother of a singer which copybook dates from before 1823. Baring Gould goes one better to date the piece from 1819 and wrote that it was also introduced into the ballad opera, The Lord of the Manor, in 1823. One performer in England was named as Huckell who could be found singing both in the north and in the south of England. A broadside of Sweet Kitty Clover, from Pollock in North Shields, for example, indicates that the piece was sung by 'Mr. Huckel [sic] WITH RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE'. The Pollock reference is in the Bodleian Allegro archive as Harding B 25(1866) and the Surrey reference as Curzon 65(144). Evans, Batchelar and Harkness printed it as Madden, Reel 74, Number 134, Madden, Reel 79, Number 498 and Madden, Reel 85, Number 1203 respectively. The first Songster reference is to Universal Songster 1, p.123. James Kay printed it in National Songster, 1827, p.40. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1825/40. Printer. The Swiss Toy Girl. – Exeter : Besley , [1825/40]. - originally entitled The Rose of Lucerne and was written by John Barnett (1802-1890) born in Bedford of German stock. The Swiss Toy Girl, written with Van Dyk, appeared in 1823. The Bodleian Allegro archive has copy by Harkness as The Rose of Lucerne (2806 c. 13(309); and, as The Swiss Toy Girl, by Catnach (Harding B 11(1566) which is how Pitts has is as Harding B 11 (2314). There are printings from Birt in Madden (Reel 79, 314); Batchelar (Reel 79, Number 523); Sharp in London (Reel 81, Number 622; and Williams (Reel 89, Number 257. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.
Exeter. Besley. 1830/40. Printer. Tell me, Mary 'how to woo thee'. – Exeter : Besley , [1830/40]. - according to Baring-Gould, was written by F Morrison with a tune by C A Hodson. It seems to have been a relatively late addition to broadside repertoire, appearing in copy from Birt and Hodges in London, Cadman in Manchester and then Marr in Glasgow (Songs of the Day, c.1870). After various catalogue entries, there are printings in Madden from Hodges (Reel 78, Number 436) and Birt (Reel 79, Number 26); and in Songs of the Day (c.1870) - from Marr in Glasgow. The Baring-Gould reference is from English Minstrelsie, Vol. IV (Edinburgh, T C and E C Jack, 1895) Notes to Songs, p.i. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

Exeter. Besley. 1805/40. Printer. What Can a Poor Maiden Do? . – Exeter : Besley , [1805/40]. - had limited distribution, looking as if it came into prominence towards the middle of the century through Williams in Portsea, Besley, and then Such. There is one appearance in the Universal Songster which might suggest a one-time reasonable interest. In this publication a note states that it was written by 'Beazley' - for whom, so far, no information has been found. At least its printing by the Besley firm indicates a continuing period of production mid-century, presumably under the auspices of Henry Besley. The Williams copy is in Madden, Reel 89, Number 577. The Beazley reference is in Universal Songster 1, p.220. Sources: Madden ; Brown, Roly.

In addition, Dicey and Marshall had it in catalogue. Apart from this it had a limited distribution - Turner in Coventry, Swindells in Manchester, Wright in Birmingham, Symonds in London; and, in Scotland, Randall in Stirling and Hutchison in Glasgow. There were also catalogue listings - Pearson, Sanderson, Fordyce, Lane, Johnson.
