* From the Celtic Lyre, by kind permission of Mr. Henry Wliyte, Glasgow, who sends us the following note : " ' Pretty Mary ' is an
-ancient Hebridean air. The verses are old, and the author's name is unknown. He is said to have been a schoolmaster in the island of
North Uist, Invernessshire. The song was published as early as 1819."
