Book Description
Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 2 This ballad and the two which follow it are clearly not of the same use, and not meant for the same ears, as those which go before. They would come down by professional rather than by domestic tradition, through minstrels rather than knitters and weavers. They suit the hall better than the bower, the tavern or public square better than the cottage, and would not go to the Spinning-wheel at all. An exceedingly good piece of minstrelsy The Boy and the Mantle' is, too; much livelier than most of the numerous variations on the somewhat overhandled theme.

Book Description
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.
