THE BALLAD LITERATURE AND POPULAR MUSIC OF THE OLDEN TIME:

A COLLECTION OF THE OLD SONGS, BALLADS, AND DANCE TUNES WHICH CONSTITUTE THE NATIONAL MUSIC OF ENGLAND; ARRANGED CHRONOLOGICALLY, WITH REMARKS AND ANECDOTE, AND PRECEDED BY SKETCHES OF THE EARLY STATE OF MUSIC, AND OF THE AMUSEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT IN ENGLAND DURING THE VARIOUS REIGNS.

By W. CHAPPELL, F.S.A.

The present Work, indispensable to all who are interested in the Popular Literature of England, is the result of many years' careful research among MSS., Black-Letter Books, and the numerous ephemeral Publications of the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and the early part of the Eighteenth Century. The various Ballad collections, such as the Pepys, the Roxburghe, the Bagford, the Douce, the Rawlinson, &c., have been laid under contribution; whilst the Garlands collected by Pepys, Ashmole, Wood, Luttrell, &c., have furnished considerable matter in illus tration of the subject. The old Dramatists have been carefully gleaned for notices of Old Songs and Ballads, and every available source likely to enrich the Work has been examined and quoted. Thus, the book is not a mere collection of Old English Tunes, but an account, Popular and Literary, of hundreds of our Old Ballads; in many cases giving entire Ballads for the first time in an accessible shape. The Two Volumes contain upwards of Eight Hundred Pages, with Fac-similes from old MSS. and Printed Books.

OLD ENGLISH

DITTIES.

All the Favourite Songs selected from 'Popular Music of the Olden Time,' with Symphonies and Accompaniments for the Pianoforte by G. A. MACFARREN; the long Ballads compressed and in some cases new words written, by J. ÖXENFORD.

Large Folio Edition, printed from Engraved Plates, cloth, 218. Small-Type Edition, complete, cloth, 10s. 6d.; or, half bound in morocco, 15s. The above Work is also divided into Thirteen Parts, each Part containing Twelve Songs, 68.

N.B.-All the most favourite of the Old English Ditties are also published separately, from Engraved Plates, Large Folio Size, each 1s.

RECOMMENDED BY ALL THE PROFESSORS.

THE DIGITORIUM (a small Dumb Piano).—This remarkable invention materially assists any person to Play and become Perfect on the Pianoforte, Organ, or Harmonium, by strengthening and rendering the fingers independent, in an incredibly short time; and can now be had, price 15s., or, with ivory keys, 188.) of the Sole Manufacturers, CHAPPELL & CO. 50, NEW BOND-STREET.
