Auld Scots Ballants (Classic Reprint) by Robert Ford Pdf
Excerpt from Auld Scots Ballants Notwithstanding the many benefits resulting from the immense popularity of the Scottish daily and weekly newspapers, the universality of the latter has given an effectual check to the circulation of the rude Old Ballad Literature which, from fifty to a hundred years ago, formed so important an item in the pack of every itinerant chapman in the land; and to-day the tragic ballads of "Sir James the Rose," and "Mill o' Tifty's Annie," "The Hunting of Chevy-Chase," the pathetic tale of "Gil Morrice," and the humorous and once popular story of "Thrummy Cap," and others such like, are known chiefly to the literary antiquary. Some of our rare old chap-ballads, indeed, such as "Thrummy Cap," "The Wife o' Beith," "The Herd's Ghaist," "Young Gregor's Ghost," and "The Blaeberry Courtship" - none of which, strange to say, has been incorporated in the Standard Collections - are fast threatening to become extinct, copies of some of them being already almost unobtainable. This being the case, and considering that the custom hitherto has been to publish the collections of what has been aptly termed "the literature of the common people" at a price almost beyond the limits of the common purse, it occurred to me some time ago that a volume comprising the more popular and entertaining of the old Chap-Ballads, together with the best of those preserved in the Collections, would, if published at a moderate price, meet with approval. In the course of last year I accordingly issued a little collection in paper covers, under the title of "Rare Old Scotch Ballads."

Scots Poems and Ballants (Classic Reprint) by J. Wilson M'laren Pdf
Excerpt from Scots Poems and Ballants A Scot here endeavours to depict only that which is true to nature. His earnest desire is to be homely and natural; to touch a tender chord that may awaken the susceptibilities to a more ennobling state, or with a gleam of humour demolish the cobwebs of Melancholia from the mind.
