Introduction.
1
The Roxburghe Collection of Ballads was formed by Robert Harley, who was the eldest son of Sir Edward Harley, and was born in 1661, in Bow Street, Covent Garden, then a fashionable quarter of London. (English)
The chief object has been to give collations of the text, and such bibliographical information as might be required, and which a long acquaintance with ballads has generally enabled the editor to supply. (English)
