Excerpt from The Ballads of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 2

I heard from one Of our own servant girls, who had all the turn and qualifications of one Of those Old women whose death I deplored, of a ballad called Auld Maitland,' which a grandfather of Hogg's could repeat, and she herself had several of the first stanzas, which I took a note of, and find I have still the copy. These greatly aroused my anxiety to procure the whole, for this was a ballad not even hinted at by Mercer in the instructions and list Of desiderata that he had received from Mr Scott, and Of which he sent me a copy.
