Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Visions of the Night: In Ballad and Song
Unaccompanied by a preface, that child of my thoughts and feelings, born of my own inexperience, was ushered into the world, and committed to its fostering care, where, if it still lives, it has been nurtured and sheltered by strange hands.
Its publication, however, brought me many friends, and much kindly criticism; and if I have not profited by their generous advice, the fault is, wholly mine, not theirs.
The present volume is, in the main, an unpretentious attempt to revive a modern taste for Ballad Literature, a taste which, by reason of long neglect, is in danger of becoming impaired.
