Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Further Essays on Border Ballads

The first essay relates to the Scottish version of the Battle of Otterburn, ' which I endeavour to show is a compilation, partly of stanzas of modern fabrication, and partly of stanzas belonging to earlier versions, all of which have been composed, or altered, in such a way as to give to the whole the appearance of being an original narrative, consonant with Scottish sentiment, tradition, or history. It has, in my opinion, no claim to the title it bears.
