Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romantic Scottish Ballads: Their Epoch and Authorship Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetiy, 1765 3 David Herd's Scottish Songs, 1769 3 Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, 1802 and J amieson's Popular Ballads and Songs, 1806, have been chie y the means of making us acquainted with what is believed to be the ancient traditionary ballad literature of Scotland; and this literature, from its intrinsic merits, has attained a very great fame. I advert particularly to what are. Usually called the Romantic Ballads, a class of compositions felt to contain striking beauties, almost peculiar to themselves, and consequently held as implying extraordinary poetical attributes in former generations of the people of this country. There have been many speculations about the history of these poems, all assigning them a considerable antiquity, and generally assuming that their recital was once the special business of a set of wandering conteurs or minstrels. So lately as 1858, my admired friend, Professor Aytoun, in intro ducing a collection of them, at once ample and elegant, to the world, expressed his belief that they date at least from before the Reformation, having only been modified by successive reciters, so as to modernise the language, and, in some instances, bring in the ideas of later ages.
