Edited with a lengthy Introduction Appendices and Notes by Sir Walter Scott who also contributed several of the modern ballads - others being by M.G. Lewis Anna Seward J. Leyden Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe Dr. Jamieson and Colin Mackenzie. Scott had been collecting the traditional ballads in annual trips to the borders since 1792 and their appearance here marks his true literary debut: his first major work. Taken from oral tradition many of the ballads are here first printed. According to Lockhart ‘Memoires of the Life of Sir Walter Scott Bart.’ Edinburgh 1837-8 Vol.I pp.343 and 378 only 800 copies of this first edition of volumes one and two were printed whilst of the first printing of volume three - designated Second Edition on the title-page for the sake of uniformity since it was printed to accompany the 1803 reprint of the first two volumes - 1500 copies were printed. Complete sets such as the present one in nice uncut condition are nowadays scarce. In the present copy leaf P4 in volume three is in the first state with the reading ‘Part III’ instead of ‘Part Third’; B3 and B8 however are cancels as almost always. The frontispiece here present in volume one though relevant is not called for and has been added from some other source. NCBEL 3: 678.

More Broad Grins Or Mirth Versus Melancholy.
London: Printed by J. Compton Middle Street Cloth Fair For John Lowndes 25 Bow Street Covent Garden 1819. F’cap 8vo in half-sheets; wood-engraved frontispiece and vignette on title; final blank; pp.iv66ii; contemporary full calf ruled and tooled gilt and blind on sides; marbled end-papers. Front board detached and spine lacking; without the frontispiece; otherwise a nice copy. An ‘Advertisement’ on the verso of the dedication leaf says that ‘The first seven Comic Tales.are the productions of a Gentleman well known in the dramatic world. The remaining pieces in the Volume are by a different hand.’ A pencilled note dated ‘16/12/22’ which appears to be in real lead and hence 1822 identifies the authors as J.A. Planché and George Daniel. The original ‘Broad Grins’ on which this is parasitic was by George Colman the younger. It was originally published in 1802 but it was the appearance of a seventh edition in 1819 that prompted the present volume. The frontispiece here lacking occurs in two states plain and hand-coloured. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover
