Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ballads and Songs of Yorkshire: Transcribed From Private Manuscripts, Rare Broadsides, and Scarce Publications; With Notes and a Glossary
And should the reader receive one half the plea sure in perusing the contents, that has been afforded in collecting, I shall be perfectly satisfied.
In the notes prefixed to the Ballads and Songs, I have acknowledged my obligations to the friends who have so kindly assisted me, but cannot allow this opportunity to pass without again expressing my sincere thanks to Edward Hailstone, esq., F. S.a., Charles Jackson, esq., and others who have manifested so great an interest in the work.
