Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ballads From Manuscripts, Vol. 2: Part I. A Poore Mans Pittance, Part II. Ballads Relating Chiefly to the Reign of Queen Elizabeth It will not be necessary that I should say much by way of preface to the miscellaneous collection included in the present volume. The notices appended to each of the pieces will speak for them. Although for the most part deficient in poetical merit, they will have their value to the antiquarian and historical student. Many of the most life-like sketches and photographic portraits by Macaulay were drawn from the contemporaneous broadsides which he laid under contribution, and we have all, no doubt, felt surprise on running our eyes over the notes to his invaluable works when we have realized the strange sources whence his information was frequently drawn. The immortal chapter on the condition of England and the manners of the English in the time of Charles II. could only have been written by one who had made an exhaustive study of the fugitive literature of the Caroline period.
