There are a number of actual anglo concertina method books from that era (or just a few years later). They were published by Elias Howe and can be found by going to the Internet Archive archive.org and searching the words "Howe concertina" These are the books some people were learning out of in those days before what we think of as "traditional" styles had even had a chance to develop.

Is this still available? If you don't mind shipping to Ontario, I'll buy it. - Cheers, Ian Bell
