This collection was published in London, in the year 1803. It is frequently attributed to Lady Dorothea Ruggles-Brise, or to John Glen, but these are actually former owners of a copy. Lady Dorothea donated it to the National Library of Scotland in 1927. She apparently received it as a bequest from John Glen, a collector who lived from 1833 to 1904. The NLS submitted it to archive.org for scanning, and they mistakenly listed Lady Dorothea as the author.
The book implies but doesn't actually state that Gaetano Barndi was the composer. He most likely edited the collection, and may have included some unknown number of his own compositions. Most of the pieces of music are unattributed, though a few have a name (typically at the upper left) that is probably the actual composer.
This is essentially a (semi-)private collection of a Victorian-era gentleman musician. It contains assorted songs and short instrumental pieces, often taken from operas, and suitable for parlor recitals.
