ADVERTISEMENT TO PART X

For texts, information, or correction of errors, I have the pleasure of expressing my indebtedness to the following gentlemen in Europe: Mr Andrew Lang; Mr J. K. Hudson of Manchester; Professor J. Estlin Carpenter of Oxford; Messrs W. Macmath and David MacRitchie of Edinburgh; Mr W. Walker of Aberdeen; Dr Axel Olrik of Copenhagen; and in America to the following ladies and gentlemen: Miss Mary C. Burleigh of Massachusetts; Miss Louise Porter Haskell of South Carolina; Professor Kittredge, Dr W. H. Schofield, Dr W. P. Few and Mr E. E. Griffith of Harvard College; Professor W. U. Richardson of the Harvard Medical School; Dr F. A. Morrison of Indiana, and Mr W. W. Newell, editor of the Journal of American Folk-Lore. The services of Mr Leo Wiener of Harvard College have been at my full command in Slavic matters, and had time been at my disposal would have been employed for a much wider examination of the very numerous collections of Slavic popular songs. Mr G. F. Arnold, late of Harvard College Library, obligingly undertook the general bibliographical index at the end of this volume; but the labor proving too great for his delicate health, this index was completed by my friend Miss Catharine Innes Ireland, who besides has generously devoted a great deal of time to the compilation or correction of all the other indexes and the preparation of them for the press. Still further favors are acknowledged elsewhere. In conclusion I would recognize with thanks and admiration the patience, liberality and consideration shown me by my publishers from beginning to end.

[The manuscript of this Tenth and final Part of the English and Scottish Ballads (including the Advertisement), was left by Professor Child substantially complete, with the exception of the Bibliography, and nearly ready for the press. The Bibliography, which Miss Ireland had in hand at the time of Professor Child’s death, has been completed by her, with some assistance. In accordance with Professor Child’s desire, and at the request of his family, I have seen the present Part through the press. My own notes, except in the Indexes and Bibliography, are enclosed within brackets, and have been confined, in the main, to entries in the Additions and Corrections. Acknowledgments are due to Mr Macmath, Professor Lanman, and Dr F. N. Robinson for Various contributions, and to Mr W. R. Spalding for Reading the Proof-sheets of the Music. Mr Leo Wiener, Instructor in Slavic Languages in Harvard University, has had the great kindness to revise the Slavic titles in the List of Ballads, the List of Collections of Ballads, and the Bibliography. To Miss Ireland I am especially indebted for material assistance of various kinds, especially in the proofreading.
