Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Old French and English Ballads The music of these songs has been taken, as a rule, from the oldest forms available, and for the choice between them, when variants exist, the editor's liking has been the sole determinisz ing factor. With regard to time, it is as well to notice that the minim must be taken at the rate of a crotchet in our days. When the type was designed a question arose as to the use of bars. Bars are a device to awaken a sense of rhythm in those naturally deficient in it, unknown to music at the time when these songs were writ, ten, and we have not thought it necessary to in, trude them. The emphasis must be determined by the words themselves, even the relative length of the notes is a matter of approximation only. A song like la Courte Pa1lle for ex, ample, which has never been conventionalised, can only be written down by varying the time signature from bar to bar, and even then the re: which I mean one who sings the words to be understood, intuitively produces. The best ac, companiment for them is a lute, or failing that, a guitar. No word of praise of poems which have been loved and sung by artists and poets since they knew them shall be added. They are.

The authori ties of the Harvard College Library have shown the utmost courtesy; Professor Kittredge has helped the editor in revising the proof-sheets of the Introduction, and for the Glossary and Notes has not only given the same generous service, - a service valued best by those who know his command of Middle English, -but has made a number of important suggestions; while Pro fessor Child, in addition to the sympathy and encourage ment of which he is so prodigal, has kindly looked through the proof-sheets of the Glossary.

It is certainly true that no hind of verse is so completely out of the atmosphere of modern writing as the popular hallad.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Folk Song, Some Conclusions The question, too, admits of no doubt. Folk-songs, genuinely and demonstrably English, have already been gathered in their hundreds, and of a quality at least as remarkable as their number. The work of collection, too, on any comprehensive scale, has only just begun. The larger part of rural England is still virgin soil; while of those districts that have already been visited, very few have, as yet, been explored-with any degree of thoroughness.
