- A collection of old ballads. Corrected from the best and most ancient copies extant. With introductions historical, critical, or humorous. Illustrated with copper plates, attributed to Ambrose Philips (q.v), London: printed for J. Roberts; and sold by J. Brotherton in Cornhill; A. Bettesworth in Pater-Noster-Row; J. Pemberton in Fleetstreet; J. Woodman in Bow-Street, Covent-Garden; and J. Stag in Westminster-Hall, MDCCXXIII. [1723]. [BKG Note: A 2nd edition of the first volume was published in 1723. V.2 was published in 1723, V.3 was published in 1725. Watkins in Johnson and English Poetry before 1660 (p. 87 et seq.), compares later editions of the Ballads with several SJ works. Watkins: "It is hard to believe that of the few ballads from which Johnson quotes, six should by mere coincidence be included in the first volume of this Collection" The examples from the later editions that Watkins examined are almost all identical to the 1st Ballads edition (see the ebook on 18th Century Collections online). Two of the three words cited from Chevy Chase were added in the 1773 Dict. See further discussion under Song of the King and the Miller.]; drive, v.a. ; flight, n.s.; load, n.s.
