TOPICAL INDEX.




The following classification is intended to be merely suggestive. In celebrating the birthday of an author not represented in this collection, select songs that are in harmony with the writer's work. Thus, for example, songs relating to the sea, to Indian life, and to the American Revolution, may be used for James Fenimore Cooper; songs of nature would be appropriate for Henry David Thoreau, especially those by Emerson, his intimate friend.

I. PATRIOTISM.

II. LABOR.

III. HOME AND CHILDHOOD.

IV. AFFECTION.

V. BEREAVEMENT.
