Its distinguishing feature is the range or variety of its selections. The first division of the book contains national and patriotic songs, especially those that are most suitable for chorus singing. In the second division are school and college songs, including some of the best songs of the great English schools, particularly of Eton and Harrow, and also many of the better songs of our own colleges. The third part contains familiar songs, some of the songs that will not die and that young people ought to know. The fourth and last division of the book is filled with devotional music.
