Subject: RE: Folklore: Child's Essay on Ballad Poetry
Jack, The page numbering I was referring to was the 1900 Johnson edition just referred to by JimB which was flagged up by Jon Bartlett. As Jim says there isn't really any significant difference between the earliest publication and the later editions, but there wouldn't be as the bulk of the article concentrates on the European history of the ballad and tells us virtually nothing about what he thought of the British ballads in the 1890s apart from emphasising the interference of the early editors.
