S. S. Stewart's Banjo & Guitar Journal

I recently trawled through the Library of Congress listing under notated music for banjo and downloaded a tune called "Aesthetic Polka'. When I opened it I was surprised to discover it was actually Volume 1 No.5 of S. S. Stewart's Banjo & Guitar Journal. Here is the link if anyone would like to add it to their collection. https://www.loc.gov/item/sm1882.14007/See More
