It may excite surprise to know, but nevertheless it is undeniable, that no publication of the kind here aimed at, whether as regards extent of design in text and commentary, or adaptation in size and price for general circulation, has hitherto been attempted, amid the multifarious song-collections that have issued from the press. Ritson, near the close of the last century, was the first, as an editor of Scottish song, who endea voured to ascertain the age and authorship of the pieces in his work, and his example has been followed by one or two other editors; but the compilations adverted to are at once limited in their range, and removed by their cost be yond the reach of ordinary purchasers. Ritson's collection did not, in all, amount to more than our. Nusnnnn and monrr songs, and the collections of succeeding editors, though in some instances extending to several volumes, do not in any case contain om; half of the number of songs given in the present publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Ballads: Collected and Illustrated Plan should be adopted - that Of purifying them as much as possible, and giving them the ut most literary value Of which they may be sus ceptible. By adopting what the antiquarians would call the more faithful plan, I should have produced the same matter in thrice its present extent, and SO much decussated into fragments, and so frequently repeated, that it would have been almost unfit for the general reader. By: adopting the plan which taste and various other considerations forced upon me, I am hopeful that the reader will find, within the compass Of a single volume, and at a very moderate price, nearly all that he could wish to see. TO allay; in some measure, the fervour Of the antiquary, let me remind him, that the ballads still exist, ' in their original shape, in the publications where they first appeared. All that I have attempted, is to combine, as in the Ossianic poems, certain compositions formerly fugitive and various, and which seemed capable of a more extensive ap plication in the reading world if SO combined, but which, in their native condition, could ne ver have been much regarded, except by men devoted to the study Of that species Of litera ture.

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.
