FOOTNOTES:
[130] Mr Macmath drew up for the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society a bibliography of Scottish Popular Ballads in Manuscript (Session 1891-2, and a supplement, 1893-4), which may be advantageously consulted for details, as I myself have found.

INDEX OF PUBLISHED AIRS OF ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH POPULAR BALLADS
WITH AN APPENDIX OF SOME AIRS FROM MANUSCRIPT
The oldest book of airs here referred to is Thomson’s Orpheus Caledonius, ed. 1733. Earlier music-books or manuscript notations were used in great number by Chappell, Rimbault, and others, and the results are accessible through their works as cited below. The same air will frequently be found to have been repeated in successive publications. Undoubtedly the cases in which the original air of the older ballads has been preserved are but few.
