This collection also features manuscripts and photocopies of various music books which were used by Canadians in the nineteenth century to replace non-existent or expensive music imported from Great Britain and the European continent. These include: the Bath Manuscript Book (1835) consisting of copies of songs and piano pieces; William Henry Draper's compilation of piano music used by members of his family in Toronto during the latter half of the nineteenth century; T.G.W. Hayes's collection of Anglican church anthems from the first half of the nineteenth century used in London, Ontario; and the tunebooks of John Nagle and Jeremiah Regan containing fiddle and folk music of the nineteenth century.
