Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Ballads, Vol. 1 of 2: Of the Seventeenth and Eighteen Centuries Annotated Court, and In the government of the country, and who, rather as an exercife of a fuppofed neceffary accompHfhment than from any bafer motive, occafionally amufed themfelves with ridiculing the foibles of majefl:y, and expofing the intrigues of their rivals for his confidence. Such writers are manifeftly no exponents of the popular mind: the vaft majority of their compositions have long fince fallen into negled:, almofl: oblivion, and are never likely again to intereft, much lefs influence, any clafs of readers. Whilft every other department of literature has been thoroughly explored, amplified, and varioufly illuftrated, our modern Political Songs and Ballads the beft popular illuftrations of hifl:ory confl:itute the folitary exception to the general rule. Two caufes in particular may be afligned for the Angular indiflerence with which fuch compofitions have been hitherto treated. In the firfl; place, they are fo diffufely fcattered as to render hopelefs any attempt by a fingle individual to make, if fuch a thing were defirable, an entire colledion of them, or indeed any approximation to it; and fecondly, their rarely poflefling any literary merit.
