On Sale by JOHN RUSSELL SMITH, No. 36, SOHO SQUARE, LONDON. 1856. ^yL£>u^^^'^''''rt''<^<^^ PREFACE HE fingular colledlion of original bal- lads, briefly defcribed in the follow- ing pages, confifis exclufively of pieces in the black-letter or old Eng- lifh type, nearly all of which belong, moreover, to that rareft and moft interefting clafs, the really vernacular fugitive ballads of the common peo- ple. There is a wide difference, noticed efpe- cially in fheet-ballads of the feventeenth century, between thofe which emanated from the more cultivated writers, and thofe which were the au- thentic produdtions either of or written for the ftreet ballad-flnger. The former are purer in their di6bion, ufually more ambitious as to ty- pography, and are either not embellifhed with woodcuts, or, if fo, with illuftrations fuperior to the rude defigns that adorn the others. The latter are, however, by far the more interefl:ing, M63G886 VI Preface. not merely on account of their greater rarity, but becaufe they are exponents of feelings or manners that are not illuftrated by any other fources of fo early a period. Even the political ballads in this colledion, fuch as thofe refpeding Charles the Second, are for the moft part the contemporary ftreet rude ballads, not the more poliiTied ones ; and are of the rareft occurrence, if not unique. Great pains have been taken in the formation of the colledion, nearly every black-letter ballad of intereft that has occurred for fale during the laft fixteen years having been fecured. The only colledlions at all approaching it in extent are the Pepyfian at Cambridge, the Wood at Oxford, and the Roxburghe in the Britifh Mufeum, all of which are permanently fecured, and can never be diftributed ; but no collection of equal extent and importance is known to exift in private hands, and fo unufual is the occurrence of any- thing of the kind for fale, that no labour and expenfe could fucceed in forming a fimilar one. A fmall number (about 150) were purchafed as having been duplicates of ballads in the Rox- burghe colledion, but it was found on examin- ation that fcarcely any were exad duplicates, feve- Preface, vu ral were much earlier and better copies, while others were different editions of the fame ballad, often with different woodcuts. It is very rarely that two early black-letter ballads occur as per- fe(5l duplicates. Many editions of each were generally printed, and they are all diftinguifhed by peculiarities worthy of notice. A few fpe- cimens of different editions of the fame ballad will be found in the following colledion. The curiofity and rarity of thefe fugitive pieces fpeak for themfelves, and all unneceffary obfervations on their value and importance have been avoided ; but there is a remark upon fuch relics made by a diftinguifhed prelate, himfelf an ardent lover of them, which may not be an inappropriate conclufion to thefe few prefatory lines — " Yet have they, for the moft part, a pleaf- ing fimpllclty, and many artlefs graces, which, in the opinion of no mean critics, have been thought to compenfate for the want of higher beauties, and, if they do not dazzle the imagin- ation, are frequently found to intereft the heart."
