I ntroduftion. 1HE main purpofe of the enfuing colleftion is to flicw, in their moft genuine ftate, the charafter and quality of productions, written expreflly for the amufement of elower orders, in the reigns of Elizabeth, James, id Charles. Our volume confifts of fuch ordinary aterials as formed the ftock of the Englifli balladiger during a period not far fiiort of a century, any traces will be found in them of the modes in hich they were rendered acceptable to the crowd, hen fung in our moft frequented thoroughfares. It would, therefore, be manifeftly unfair to judge of lem by the ftandard ufually applied to the higher afles of poetry, although poetry of no inferior defcrip3n will occafionally be found in them :nor are their erits to be meafured by the eafier procefs of comirifon with well known works, in fome refpefts fimir.
