THIS book deals with the ballad as a kind of poetry, with as little as possible of antiquarian or linguistic or even literary detail. In pursuing this end I have found myself especially aided by Mr. John Geddie's book on "The Balladists in the Famous Scots Series. He seems to me to have expressed the real quality of the ballads better than most who have published on the subject, and I have been a good deal guided by his ideas in my selections for the first part of this book. Like everybody else who deals with ballads, I am under great obligations to Francis James Child. The text of the old ballads in the first part comes always from his earlier collections, although I have made emendations from different sources.
