INTRODUCTION.

The Cavalier Ballads of England, like the Jacobite Ballads of
England and Scotland at a later period, are mines of wealth for the
student of the history and social manners of our ancestors. The
rude but often beautiful political lyrics of the early days of the
Stuarts were far more interesting and important to the people who
heard or repeated them, than any similar compositions can be in our
time.
