Excerpt from A Book of Old Ballads Unfamiliar words and phrases are explained m the glossary at the end of the book. Many of these are still in common use in England and Scotland, but are defined for the convenience of younger pupils who have not yet discovered them in the writings of Scott, Burns or other masters of English who used dialectal forms. No one to - day can edit a ballad book without acknowledging overwhelming indebtedness to Professor Child. SO far-reaching were his researches and so indisputable were the most of his decisions that all subsequent students in his field have grown accustomed to consult his volumes almost as a dictionary.

Excerpt from A New Book of Old Ballads The chief attraction of the present Collection consists in the recovery of early versions of two or three popular Scotish Ballads, which, passing through the barberous hands of Allan Ramsay or other renovators of ancient garments, have, like the silk stocking of Sir John Cutlar, retained very few portions of their original texture. Thus "Scornful," (termed by Ramsay "Bonny") Nancy, is essentially different from the song introduced to the notice of the public in the Tea-Table Miscellany, and the recovery of the original ballad establishes, in spite of Mr Stenhouse's observations to the contrary, that the lady had not escaped intact from the poets embraces.
