Book. Np [?Cheshire, Ct.]: [?Andrew Law], Nd [1782-87]. Oblong 4to, contemp. plain paper boards, calf spine. Pp. 4 (letterpress), 100 (engraved). Moderate wear to boards, inner hinges cracked but sound; lacking flyleaves; a very good copy. Early ownership signatures of Sarah Bradley and Josiah Bellows, of Vermont. Second edition of the first copyrighted American tune book, first published in 1778, this being one of a number of issues printed in the 1780s. These issues are generally thought to have been published by Law himself in Cheshire, Ct., based on evidence in the Law papers. Lowens sorted out the various issues using typographical evidence (see B&L, p. 430) and this appears to be his edition 'M'. Britton & Lowens 359A; Evans 23492..
