Excerpt from Old Ballads in Prose The story-loving people would have hadrather a hard time if it had not been for the ballads. These ballads were simple rhymes, and every one of them told a story. There were tales of ghosts and fairies, of merry jests and faithful maidens and gallant champions, of the wild escapades of Robin Hood and his fol lowers in the depths of Sherwood Forest; and there were tales with the ring of battle and the clash of arms in them, with a sword in every line. No one knows who composed the ballads, and it is not at all likely that any one of them was the work of a single person. When peo ple sang them, they sang what they remem bered, and made up the rest; so that they were seldom sung alike twice. By and by, they were printed on single sheets of coarse paper. In country houses they were often pasted on the walls of the bedrooms. Some people felt a little scorn for the ballads be cause they were so simple and unpolished, but Addison said, I cannot, for my Heart, leave a Room before I have thoroughly studied the walls of it, and examined the several printed Papers which are usually pasted upon them.

Excerpt from Old English Ballads Unlike the earlier collections of ballads, this little volume is offered to the public without apology for the poems; they have long since established themselves in the body of our literature. Many teachers, however, have been unable to put them into the hands of their pupils for want of a cheap yet faithful text, and this edition is offered in the hope of answering such a need. The little trouble necessary for mastering the somewhat antiquated forms of the language will be amply repaid by the fuller knowledge that will be gained of the real thought and feeling of our ancestors. I am indebted to Professor Frederick Tupper, Jr., of the University of Vermont, for many valuable suggestions.

The English and Scottish Popular Ballads of the first (now made generally accessible by the publication by Houghton, Mifilin, and Company of the Cambridge edition under the editorial supervision of Mrs. Helen Child Sargent and Professor Kittredge) and The Beginnings of Poetry (the Macmillan Company) of the second are books that should be owned, read, and reread by every teacher of literature.

Excerpt from Old Ballads Nothing is more difficult in preparing a book of this kind than the selection of a title. In the present case the title is the simplest possible; but it needs a word of explanation. A companion volume, published last year, included certain of the popular ballads which deal with historical events; the present volume almost exhausts the rest of our national stock of ballads, in so far as they can be conscientiously adapted to school purposes. Many of the best have of necessity been omitted, for one reason or another; but enough good material is here, it is hoped, to stimulate interest in a form of literature which is only now beginning to be utilised for educational purposes. With such an object in view, an editor of popular ballads must be allowed powers of deletion and alteration which in a scientific work would be reprehensible, and I have therefore freely revised the texts; but I have not gone so far as to alter popular assonances into rhymes, nor have I changed the peculiarities of Scottish orthography, as the language is a vital part of these ballads. It would be impossible, for instance, to translate into equally effective English the last two lines of The Two, Corbies. In compensation, I have modernised four or five excellent long ballads from their seventeenth-century spelling in the Percy Folio Ms. - e.g. The Lord of Learne, The Heir of Linne, Will Stewart and John, and Thomas o' Pott, - the two latter, I believe, for the first time.
