Steve Gardham Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads (132* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads 26 Feb 18


I've got the Pepys copy in front of me now. 'To be sung with its own pleasant New Tune'.

It has been bound with the following. Mostly no imprint.

The Cripples Race set in Glasgow and mentions Aberdeen and Dunkeld. It is written largely in SE with a sprinkling of Scots words. NI


The Reply and Challenge of King Robert II the first of the Stuarts, unto Henry the fourth King of England. Again in SE with a sprinkling of Scots words. NI

John Robinsons Park, or A Merry fit of Wooing, totally SE, NI

A full version of Chevy Chase, SE , NI

Then our Elphin Knight NI

Christs Kirk on the Green, composed as supposed by James V, lightly sprinkled with Scots pronunciations but the vast majority in SE of the time. NI

Strephon and Clea: or Love in its Prime, seems to be printed on the same sheet as Cuckolds all a-Row, printed by R. Kell at the blew Anchor in Py-corner (London).
Kell was printing at the Blue Anchor 1687-90
