INDEX TO CAROLS.

Previous
William Sandys
I had hoped to have inserted a Carol by the Rev. R. S. Hawker, of Moorwenstow, Cornwall, but it was previously engaged for the Christmas number of ‘Household Words.’ I must, however, take the opportunity of correcting a mistake in ‘Trenoodle’s Specimens of Cornish Dialect,’ where the song of ‘The Trelawney Rising’ is treated as an old ballad. This spirited composition is the production of Mr. Hawker.
