Book Description
Excerpt from Broadsides, Ballads, &C. Printed in Massachusetts, 1639-1800 The following list grew out of small beginnings. When in the Public Library of the City of Boston I amused myself in noting any broadside issued in Massachusetts between the years 1774 and 1783, on a half-formed scheme of utilizing the items in a study of the civil aspects of the War for Independence. The list was not completed and later, in the Library of Con gress, was added to only as occasion Ofiered, on no systematic plan. The growing interest in broadside material has sug gested a full check-list, which would be a better guide were it extended to include all broadsides issued in Massachusetts from the earliest introduction of printing into the colony to the year 1800. On consulting Evans' American Bibliography I estimated that double the number there recorded would be ample, but I was soon obliged to alter my Opinion, and the result in numbers Speaks for itself.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Catalogue of an Unique Collection of Ancient English Broadside Ballads: Printed Entirely in the Black Letter The singular collection of original ballads, briefly described in the following pages, consists exclusively of pieces in the black-letter or old English type, nearly all of which belong, moreover, to that rarest and most interesting class, the really vernacular fugitive ballads of the common people. There is a wide difference, noticed especially in sheet-ballads of the seventeenth century, between thole which emanated from the more cultivated writers, and those which were the authentic productions either of or written for the street ballad-finger. The former are purer in their diction, usually more ambitious as to typography, and are either not embellished with woodcuts, or, if so, with illustrations superior to the rude designs that adorn the others.
