Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 10 P. 300. I have serious doubts whether this offensive ballad has not been made too important; whether, not withstanding the points noted at p. 301, it is anything more than a variety of The Queen of all Sluts.'

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.

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.

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.

Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 3 Upon concluding this Fourth Part, I have to express warm thanks to Mr james barclay murdoch for a punctilious recollation of motherwell's manuscript, and to Mr malcolm colquhoun thomson for again granting the use of the volume. Miss mary fraser tytler, to remove a doubt about a few readings, has generously taken the trouble to make a fac-simile copy of alexander fraser tytler's brown manuscript. Mr macmath, whose accuracy is not surpassed by photographic reproduction, has done me favors of a like kind, and of many kinds. Rev. Professor skeat, with all his engagements, has been prompt to render his peculiarly valuable help at the libraries of Cambridge; and Mr F. H. Stoddard, late of Oxford, now of the University of California, has allowed me to call upon him freely for Oopies and collations at the Bodleian Library. The notes which Dr reinhold kohler, Professor felix liebricht, Professor 0. R. Lanman, and Mr george lyman kittredge have contributed, in the way of Additions and Corrections, will speak for themselves. Miss isabel florence hapgood, translator of the Epic Songs of Russia, has given me much assistance in Slavic popular poetry, and lieutenant-colonel W. F. Pri deaux, of Calcutta, Mr frank kidson, of Leeds, and Mr P. Z. Round, of London, have made obliging communications as to English ballads.

Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 3 of 5: Part I Rev. Professor skeat has done me the great service of collating Wynken de Worde's text of The Gest of Robin Hood, the manuscript of Robin Hood and the Monk and of Robin Hood and the Potter, and all the Robin Hood broadsides in the Pepys collection.
