It will be issued in Monthly Parts, small Quarto ; each

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
VIZETELLY 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.

sellers.
