American Notes and Queries, Volume 1 By Henry Collins Walsh 1888
In relation to the note on "The Lord of Burleigh" (A. N. and Q., p. 112) I may mention that in addition to the Scottish pieces cited, there are also the well-known ballad "Lizie Lindsay " (Black's Book of Scottish Ballads, p. 49) and the beautiful and popular dialogue song "Huntingtower." Hundreds of Scotchmen in Philadelphia have heard this song in Caledonian Hall on Pine street, as well as the song (not the ballad) "Lizie Lindsay."
