Joseph M'Nairn was a printer, bookseller and bookbinder, and from 1837 he also maintained a circulating library in Newton Stewart. He printed a series of cheap tracts and a large number of chapbooks. These contain between three and seven traditional Scottish songs. None of them have a printing date.
