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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 4 I would acknowledge with particular gratitude the liberality of the hon. Mrs max well-scott in allowing the examination and use of the rich store of ballads accumulated at Abbotsford by her immortal ancestor; and also that of lord rosebery in sending to Edinburgh for inspection the collection of rare Scottish broadsides formed by the late David Laing, and permitting me to print several articles. The rev. S. Baring-gould has done me the great favor of furnishing me with copies of traditional ballads and songs taken down by him in the West of England. I am much indebted to the rev. W. Forbes-leith for his good offices, and to MR mac math, as I have been all along, for help of every description.
