The Merry Musician, or a Cure for the Spleen, Containing A Choice Collection of English & Scots Songs. Vol 1st. Doesn't appear to be on ESTC; not on ECCO; these sources do have records for a 1716 text of the same name, but which has a different imprint. Poems set to music; including the musical notation; engraved on plates. CBEL and OLIS suggest this is 1730. The first few pages are not in the right order: 1,6,7,4,5,2,3,8,9.
