Sorry--on checking through the full set of eight volumes I find that I had skipped two pages in the volume I consulted.
Here reads the title page I missed:---
English and Scottish
BALLADS.
Edited by
FRANCIS JAMES CHILD.
Volume
LONDON
Sampson Low, Son, & Co., 47, Ludgate Hill
MDCCCLXI.
In volume one there follows a six page preface:--
signed F.J.C. and dated May, 1860.
Each ballad has a preface of varying length.
The set is a quality product, having leather spines and corners, marbled boards and gold topped pages.
