It will be issued in Monthly Parts, small Quarto; each
Part will consist of five sheets (forty pages) ; and every page
will contain an illustration engraved on wood, in the finest
style of which the art is capable. The present intention of
the Editor is to complete the Work in Twelve Parts, at ss.
each. v

Part I. will contain the Ballads of—
CHEVY CHASE ; illustrated by FRANKLIN ; the engrav-
ings by LINTON, SMITH, LANDELLS, ARMSTRONG, BASTIN,
&C.

THE CHILDREN IN THE WOOD ; illustrated by J. R.
HERBERT, A.R.A.; engraved by GREEN.
FAIR ROSAMOND ; illustrated by J. FRANKLIN; engraved
by T. WILLIAMS, Miss WILLIAMS, WALMSLEY, EVANS,
&e.

THE DEMON LOVER ; illustrated by J. GILRERT ; en-
graved by FOLKARD.
THE NUT-BROWNE MAID ; illustrated by T. C4EswICK
engraved by J. WILLIAMS.
Each Ballad will be preceded by two pages, giving its his-
tory, and supplying such information concerning it as the
Editor may be enabled to obtain ; and in every Ballad the
designs will be drawn by one artist on the wood,—so as to
secure uniformity of character : and such arrangements have
been made, that as the work progresses, it will exhibit exam-
ples of the genius of a large proportion of the most accom-
plished artists of Great Britain.
The supremacy of our English engravers on wood is uni-
versally admitted: this important department of the work
will be entrusted only to artists of acknowledged skill and
eminence.

The printing is confided to the establishment of Messrs
VIZ ETELLY and Co.

The aim of all parties engaged in the production of the
work will be to render it worthy of the Country and the Arts.
Specimens of the Work may be seen at all Book-
sellers.
