"These songs are a species of composition entirely by themselves. They have no affinity with our ancient ballads of heroism or romance; and one part of them far less with the mellow strains of our pastoral and lyric muses. Their general character is that of a rude energetic humour, that bids defiance to all opposition, in arms, sentiments, or rules of song-writing" (Introduction, p. viii).
