G.o.d SAVE THE KING (_S.B.S._ 19, &c.)
G.o.d SAVE THE QUEEN (_M.C._ 29)
It is unnecessary here to discuss the origin and sources of this air. The form in which we know it is probably due to Henry Carey, and the first recorded public performance was on September 28, 1745.
HAD I A HEART FOR FALSEHOOD FRAMED (_D. & S._ 14)
Words by _R.B. Sheridan_.
Sung by Mr. Leoni (see _Choir_, May, 1912).
In the _Duenna_, 1775. Set to the air now known as 'The Harp that once through Tara's Halls.'
Moore, in his _Irish Melodies_, calls the melody 'Gramachree.'
HAIL COLUMBIA (_M.C._ 13, _A.N._)
Mr. Elson (_National Music of America_) says that the music was originally known as the 'President's March,' probably by a German composer. The words were subsequently adapted to the air by Dr. Joseph Hopkinson.

I'D CROWNS RESIGN, TO CALL HER MINE (_D.C._ 25)
'La.s.s of Richmond Hill.'
Words by _L. MacNally_. _J. Hook._
I'd crowns resign, to call her mine, Sweet la.s.s of Richmond Hill.
For a long time there was a dispute between the partisans of Surrey and Yorkshire as to which 'Richmond Hill' was referred to. The former county was the favourite for a long time, till a communication in _Notes and Queries_ (10th series iii. p. 290) pulverized its hopes and definitely placed the locality in Yorkshire.
