Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballads of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 2 I heard from one Of our own servant girls, who had all the turn and qualifications of one Of those Old women whose death I deplored, of a ballad called Auld Maitland, ' which a grandfather of Hogg's could repeat, and she herself had several of the first stanzas, which I took a note of, and find I have still the copy. These greatly aroused my anxiety to procure the whole, for this was a ballad not even hinted at by Mercer in the instructions and list Of desiderata that he had received from Mr Scott, and Of which he sent me a copy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballads of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 I believe that every editor of a work of this kind must have felt that in his first edition many errors and omissions were certain to occur. Having had the advantage of much sound and intelligent criticism from gentlemen who were evidently well acquainted with the subject, and enthusiasts in our older literature, I have been enabled in some places materially to improve the text; while, from private sources, I have received much information of a very valuable kind. The work has been subjected to a strict revision, and six additional ballads - two of them taken down from recitation - have been inserted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 2 This ballad and the two which follow it are clearly not of the same use, and not meant for the same ears, as those which go before. They would come down by professional rather than by domestic tradition, through minstrels rather than knitters and weavers. They suit the hall better than the bower, the tavern or public square better than the cottage, and would not go to the Spinning-wheel at all. An exceedingly good piece of minstrelsy The Boy and the Mantle' is, too; much livelier than most of the numerous variations on the somewhat overhandled theme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English and Scottish Ballads, Vol. 7 In the twelfth year of Richard II. (1888, ) the Scots assembled an extensive army, with the intention of invading England on a grand scale, in revenge for a previous incursion made by that sovereign. But information having been received that the Northumbrians were gathering in considerable force for a counter-invasion, it was thought prudent not to attempt to carry out the original enterprise. While, therefore, the main body of the army, commanded by the Earl of Fife, the Scottish king's second son, ravaged the western borders of England, a detachment of three or four thousand chosen men, under the Earl of Douglas, penetrated by a swift march into the Bishopric of Durham, and laid waste the country with fire and sword. Returning in triumph from this inroad, Douglas passed insultingly before the gates of Newcastle, where Sir Harry Percy lay in garrison. This fiery warrior, though he could not venture to cope with forces far superior to his own, sallied out to break a lance with his hereditary foe. In a skirmish before the town he lost his spear and pennon, which Douglas swore he would plant as a trophy on the highest tower of his castle, unless it should be that very night retaken by the owner.
