The N:inscription on the inside cover reads, "This is from the Bridge family of N:Augusta, Maine (Horatio Bridge, friend of Hawthorne's)". However, entries in N:the ms. were in different hands indicating several contributors. N:The ms. is neat and the notation studied and precise.

SPRING. English, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Spring" was one of the airs in One O'Clock the 1811 musical by English novelist, playwright, diarist, prose writer, and poet Matthew Gregory "Monk" Lewis (1775-1818). It was an adaptation of his The Wood Daemon; or, The Clock has Struck (1807), a two-act melodrama staged at Drury Lane. It involved the sacrifice of children to the infernal powers. When the boy Leolyn is seized by the villain and they disappear into a secret passage, the ancestral portraits on the wall direct the heroine to the secret spring which enables her to follow them. This gothic cliche is now perhaps best known from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Ruddigore.
