Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Select Collection of English Songs, With Their Original Airs, Vol. 1 of 3: And a Historical Essay on the Origin and Progress of National Song Having been amicably invited, as a kind of relaxation from hardier tasks, to supervise a new edition of Ritson´s ´Select Collection of English Songs,´ I did not long hesitate to accept the invitation. For, in the first place, I considered the work as creditable to its Compiler, from his express desire to guard it from licentiousness: in the next place, I had reason to infer, from personal intercourse, that Ritson would not have been unwilling I should have become his posthumous Editor: thirdly, because in becoming so, I felt disposed to execute my office with requisite impartiality: and fourthly, because that office afforded an opportunity of interposing a few cautionary remarks between the hypercritical asperities of our poetic antiquary, and the milder merits and more accomplished erudition of the late bishop of Dromore.
