DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from English Border Ballads AN eminent statesman is, reported to have said: Let me make the ballads of a nation, and I care not who makes the laws. We echo the wish, for the ambition is a noble one. The human heart is a musical instrument, and like an [eolian lyre, waits the magic touch; and happy is that man who can stir and thrill its harmonic chords! Sweet is the in uence of song! It awakens pleasant memories, and speaks to us of those who were, but are not. The Ballads of a country win us into a sym. Pathetic relationship with bygone times, and the spirits of the dead, - the heart of to-day beating in harmony with that of a ruder age.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Border Ballads Among the by no means numerous manuscripts left by Swinburne unpublished at the time of his death, were a series of seven Border Ballads. To the end that these delightful and important Ballads should be immediately and permanently preserved in type, Mr. Theodore Watts-Dunton caused about twenty or so to be privately printed in London in pamphlet form, with suitable Introductions by himself. It is by Mr. Watts-Dunton's courtesy that The Bibliophile Society has now been enabled to reprint them for distribution among its members.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Further Essays on Border Ballads In writing the following essays my object has been to determine on the genuineness, or otherwise, of four well-known Border ballads. Three of these, namely, the so-called Scottish version of the ballad of the 'Battle of Otterburn, ' 'Auld Maitland, ' and 'Kinmont Willie, ' were published for the first time by Sir Walter Scott in the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border; the fourth was known to but not published by Sir Walter, who for some reason preferred to place in his work what was clearly a later version. 'Auld Maitland' and the 'Battle of Otterburn' have frequently been quoted by our great writers as extremely interesting instances of traditions of historic incidents having been handed down orally, in the shape of verse, through very many generations, and so also has 'Kinmont Willie, ' though, of course, the interest therein is of less degree, since it relates to comparatively modern times.
