[The manuscript of this Tenth and final Part of the English and
Scottish Ballads (including the Advertisement), was left by Professor
Child substantially complete, with the exception of the Bibliography,
and nearly ready for the press. The Bibliography, which Miss Ireland
had in hand at the time of Professor Child’s death, has been completed
by her, with some assistance. In accordance with Professor Child’s
desire, and at the request of his family, I have seen the present
Part through the press. My own notes, except in the Indexes and
Bibliography, are enclosed within brackets, and have been confined, in
the main, to entries in the Additions and Corrections. Acknowledgments
are due to Mr Macmath, Professor Lanman, and Dr F. N. Robinson for
Various contributions, and to Mr W. R. Spalding for Reading the
Proof-sheets of the Music. Mr Leo Wiener, Instructor in Slavic
Languages in Harvard University, has had the great kindness to revise
the Slavic titles in the List of Ballads, the List of Collections
of Ballads, and the Bibliography. To Miss Ireland I am especially
indebted for material assistance of various kinds, especially in the
proofreading.
