Music book of simple treble notation, containing marches, dances and songs, which appears to have been owned successively by Francis and John Hughes, whose names are written at the front and back of the book respectively.
Francis Hughes appears to have been the first owner and to have written most of the pieces; a tune apparently entitled 'March y[e] 21:' (folio 16 verso) is described as having been 'Perform:[d] at the Kings Coronation', apparently that of George III, in September 1761. The signature of John Hughes appears inside the back cover, and, dated 1768, at folio i (inverted). Most of the pieces at the back of the volume are religious. The book appears to lack a leaf before folio 1.
Music book, undated, compiled in the north of England, consisting of various gatherings of sheets bound together, containing dances, songs and marches (including a number of Scottish tunes), and some other music, all written in a number of hands.

Included are four unidentified sonatas for two flutes (folios 52-56).
