NEW YORK: WILLIAM 4, POND AND CO.PREFACE. ‘Tune great success which hes followed the publication of “The Songs of England” bas induced me to make another search among the stores of old popular ballads, with the view of producing a volume to cond and companion e book that is so universally popular. ‘The result has more than answered my expectations. I could hardly believe so many good songs were still available, and I have therefore been able to collect usecund selection hardly less interesting and valuable than the first. ‘The two volumes together furm a not unworthy nionument to the composers of our Standard Songs and Ballads.
