Thread Name: ID this Ballad book
Subject: RE: ID this Ballad book
I have a book, one of a pair, that I'd like to find the mate to. My book is Irish Minstrelsy or Bardic Remains of Ireland; with English Poetical Translations, vol. 1. This is "collected and edited, with notes and illustrations, by James Hardiman, M.R.I.A. It was published in London: Joseph Robins, Bride Court, Bridge Street. 1831.

Even the 1971 U.S. reprint is pretty expensive. There are only two copies that turn up at ABE, and the old one, if both are present, is rather valuable. But alas, I have only one from the set. (And even if I had both, I would keep them).
