The celebrated collection, known by the name of the 'Roxburghe Ballads,' now in the British Museum, consisting of about 1340 broadsides, mostly in black letter. It was originally formed by Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford. On the sale of the Harleian library, it became the property of Mr. James West, the President of the Royal Society. In 1773 Major Pearson acquired it for the sum of £20. The collection, then bound in two volumes, was, in 1788, bought for 361. 4s. 6d. by the Duke of Roxburghe, who added a third volume, more bulky than either of the two former. At the sale of the duke's library, in 1813, they passed into the hands of Mr. Harding for 4777. 15s., who subsequently transferred them to Mr. Bright for about 7001. At 1845, they were secured for the British the sale of that gentleman's library, in Museum for 535%.
