Excerpt from The Legendary Cabinet: A Collection of British National Ballads, Ancient and Modern, From the Best Authorities IN presenting this little Collection to the Public, the Editor beg-s leave, in the first instance, to refer to a previous announcement, of its being conducted, as far as the subject would admit, on a moral plan; or, at the least, with an exclusion of all articles of a directly exceptionable character. At the same time, it is hoped that no candid and intelligent Reader will mistake this for an unqualified panegyric on its contents; or subject Mai to a rigid assay, which was never intended for, and consequently never can come forth as, pure and unmixed metal.
