Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illustrations of Scottish History, Life and Superstition: From Song and Ballad The object of the present work is to introduce to the stores of our Song and Ballad literature those who may be ignorant of their riches, and to refresh the memories of such as may have once been familiar with them, but who have now ceased to cherish their acquaintance. These stores are not only rich but varied, and if the book proves uninteresting, the fault is due, not to the subject, but solely to defective treatment. The usual collections of Song and Ballad have been carefully studied while preparing these chapters; but the extracts are generally, though not always, taken from Chambers´s "Songs of Scotland prior to Burns," and Aytoun´s tasteful recension of the texts of the Ballads.
