I am under particular obligations to Mr, of Edinburgh, for his communications concerning the ballad-folk of the Scottish border, and to Dr , of the University of Leipsic, and Mr , my colleague in Harvard College, for contributions (indicated by the initials of their names) which will be found in the Additions and Corrections.

Thanks are due and are proffered, for favors of various kinds, to Lieutenant-Colonel, of London, Lieutenant-Colonel , of Calcutta, Professor , Miss , Professor , of Moscow, Professor , Mr , of Copenhagen (to whom the completion of 's great work has been entrusted), Mr , of Glasgow, Dr , Professor , Mr. and Mr.
