Transcriber's Notes
Page 20, Footnote [30]: added missing closing quote and comma ('Sir Patrick Spens', a piece of literary work of the last century,...)
Page [26], stanza 131 changed "moo" to "moon" ('I saw the new moon late yestreen,)
Page [43]: changed comma to period (et estoit roy d'Angleterre.)
Page [75], stanza 111: deleted erroneous comma at beginning of line (An she gid by the first table,)
Page [96], heading to ballad version I: note that the balance of the date is missing in the original (learned from his aunt at Old Deer, about 185)
Page [147], ballad version C, stanza 14: added missing open quote ('Come doon, come doon, my pretty parrot,)
Page [164], ballad version F, stanza 4: added missing open quote ('O wha is that at my bower-door,)
Page [206]: initial rough breathings before Greek capitals appear to have been interpreted as opening single quotes, and the printer has supplied matching close quotes. Both quotes and rough breathing are retained (... these also have: '[a]Ἡ Ευγενουλα],' '[a]Ὁ Χαρος και ἡ Κορη],' etc.)
Page [228]: changed "be wailed" to "bewailed" (is bitterly bewailed by Sigrún.)
Page [228]: changed closing single quote to double quote ("hon sörjer sin fästeman ur graf,")
Page [231], ballad version C, stanza 13: added missing open quote ('It is three hell-hounds, Marjorie,' he says,)
Page [240]: corrected reference "42" to "41" (So the "Sleep you, wake you" of 41,...)
Page 240, Footnote [135]: changed "Madder" to "Madden" (As Sir Frederick Madden has observed,...)
Page [246], heading to ballad version C changed "Roxburge" to "Roxburghe" (d. Roxburghe Ballads, III, 340.)
Page [284], stanza 7: added missing close single quote (And bid Fair Eleanor come?')
Page [285], heading to ballad version B: deleted comma preceding semicolon (Motherwell's MS. p. 149;)
Page [294], ballad version E, stanza 13: suspect question mark may be a printer's error, but is retained (His lady, in her bigly bower?)
Page [295]: corrected stanza reference from "4" to "14" (144. the door.)
Page [366], ballad version P, stanza 43: added missing close single quote ('We'll nip the baby in the cradle,')
Page [346], changed "Series" to "eries" (C. Notes and Queries, Sixth Series,...)
Page [405], note to ballad version B: changed "are" to italic (Quhat, ze, etc., are printed what, ye.)
Page [405], note on ballad version F stanza 16: italics extended to whole paragraph (16. Given thus in Kinloch's annotated copy... ... and that of Buchan:)
Page [406] changed "Islenzk" to "Íslenzk" ('Þiðriks kvæði konúngs,' Íslenzk fornkvæði, II, 218, No 57, st. 6;)
Page [436], stanza 553: changed "Ihon" to "Iohn" (Thy brother Iohn shall be a lord,)
Page [440]: changed "p:" to "plate:" (201. siluer & plate: see 221.)
Page [485], stanza 312: added missing close single quote (This fault which you've committed;')
Page 494, Footnote [187]: changed "ould" to "would" (and would have followed No 40 had I known)
Page [513], under notes on Ballad 78: original footnote reference, using "double dagger" symbol, does not exist on page 236. The inference from context is that the reference should be to Footnote [134] which originally had "dagger" symbol (236 b.... and to note [134]., Jacobs, Anthologia Græca, II,...)
Page [515]: changed "81" to "82" (326, stanza 82. _Read_ O go please it.)
Page [515], under To be Corrected in the Print for Volume II, no instance in the text could be found corresponding to the correction for Page 352, stanza 202.
