Excerpt from Old English Ballads U'nlike the earlier collections of ballads, this little vol ume 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 faith ful 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.
