Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Studies in Folk-Song and Popular Poetry OF the essays in this volume, that on American Sea Songs has been published in the Atlantic Monthly, and that on folk-songs of the Civil War in the American folk-lore Journal. Those on English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Lady Nairne and her Songs, and William Thom, the Weaver Poet, were contributed as literary articles to the Providence Sunday Journal. It may be thought that the essays on Sir Samuel Ferguson and Celtic Poetry, Lady Nairne, and William Thom do not come Within the strict limits of folk song and popular poetry, but they have a cognate interest as illustrating the development of folk song in cultivated literature, and seem to me to be within a reasonable approximation to the title of the volume.

Mr. Williams's essays merit a few words of commendation from folk-lorists on this side of the Atlantic as being calculated to interest readers in a subject which is full of profound significance, but against which they may possibly be prejudiced in the degree that science claims it as material for analysis. For within the last few years folk-lore has been promoted to the rank of a serious study and the Folk-Lore Society of London, aided by its numerous and lusty offshoots, both American and Continental, is busily applying the scientific method to fireside tale, custom, song, and ballad seeking what old philosophies lie at the heart of these, and what they have to tell about intercourse between peoples in the past. Nevertheless, the folk-lorist treats his subject-matter as tenderly as Isaak Walton bade the angler hook his worm, for he remembers what poetry the song and saga hold, and that laughter and tears are ever young.
