Description: | During the early nineteenth century belonging to a society became extremely popular. Used by the middle-classes as a means of socialising in select company there were numbers of different lodges and societies. In particular the Odd Fellows had branches and lodges throughout the country for much of the nineteenth century. This unusual songbook appears to consist of songs used at Odd Fellow events - interestingly the book contains offerings from well known local composers such as Robert Emery and William Armstrong who appear to have members of the lodge themselves. ; Early nineteenth century songbook | Publisher: | R.T.
