Excerpt from Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland, Vol. 1: Hitherto Unpublished
My Lord Duke,
I Am proud to have the honour of dedicating to your Grace the following Volumes, containing the fruit of many years painful but pleasant labour: - thus following the example of the late Mr. Pinkerton, and the justly-esteemed Sir Walter Scott, who have inscribed their invaluable Collections of Early Song to your Grace's Noble Ancestors.
