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.

Miscellaneous Ballads, especially Humorous, Satirical. Burlesque; also some speci mens of the Moral and Scriptural, and all such pieces as had been overlooked in arranging the earlier volumes. For the Texts, the rule has been to select the most authentic Copies. And to reprint them as they stand in the collections, restoring readings that had been changed without grounds, and noting all deviations from the originals, whether those of previous editors or of this edition, in the margin. Interpolations acknowledged by the editors have generally been dropped. In two instances only have previously printed texts been superseded or greatly improved: the text of The Horn of Eng Arthur, in the first volume, was furnished from the manuscript, by J. O. Halliwell, Esq., and Adam Bel, in the fifth volume, has been amended by a recently discovered fragment of an excellent edition, kindly communicated by J. P. Collier, Esq.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Songs, Vol. 1 of 2 From these motives, and with these views, the present' collection was undertaken. It will be found to contain'all the songs written in and regarding Scotland, which have either the me rit of being Old and characteristic, or that of being new and popular. No original songs are admitted, as in most other collections because it is inconsistent with the idea of a collection of the best songs of a country, that some should be accepted which have not yet endured the or deal of public taste. In an Introductory Essay, a view is given of all the facts known with cer tainty regarding Scottish Song in general and to almost all the songs are appended notes, con taining such anecdotes, and other pieces of in formation, referring to them individually, as the editor considered necessary for their illus tration, or at least mentioning the earliest print ed collection in which they are known to have; appeared. No songs of an indecorous nature, are introduced while from one or two others which are included, the objectionable passages. Are silently omitted; the editor judging it bet ter to fit his book, by that very slight sacrifice, for the use of the tasteful, the fair, and the young, than to consult the wishes of the antiquary; who, after all, has but little reason to complain of such violations, seeing that the songs are to be found, in all their native boau ty, in the collections of Ramsay and Herd.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 1 of 5 They followed these directions the king gave his verdict, the ambassador acquiesced, the minister received splendid presents. For a final trial the unfriendly king sent a long stick of wood, of equal thickness, with no knots or marks, and asked which was the under and which the upper end. N 0 one could say. The minister referred the question to his daughter. She answered, Put the stick into water the root end will sink a little, the upper end ﬂoat. The experiment was tried; the king said to the ambassador, This is the upper end, this the root end, to which he assented, and great presents were again given to the minister. The adverse monarch was convinced that his only safe course was peace and con ciliation, and sent his ambassador back once more with an offering of precious jewels and of amity for the future. This termination was highly gratifying to Rabssaldschal, who said to his minister, How could you see through all these things? The minister said, It was not I, but my clever daughter-in-law. When the king learned this, he raised the young woman to the rank of his younger sister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
