About this book
A book of Roxburghe ballads, edited by John Payne Collier, Esq.
Author: Collier, John P. (John Payne) (ed.)
Year: 1847
4to. pp, xxii, xxv-xxvi, [2], 340. Original Roxburghe boards, rebacked. Liberally illustrated with re-workings of woodcuts by F. W. Fairholt. Most of the 55 ballads derive from the 3-volume Roxburghe collection of 1355 broadsides purchased by the British Museum at the sale of B. H. Bright’s books (Sotheby’s, 3 March 1845, lot 296). Collier added some more ballads, some of which do not appear ever to have existed in broadside. See A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, pp. 472-476; II, A67.
