Excerpt from The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Vol. 8 D. Lizzy Lindsay, ' from a note-book of Dr Joseph Robertson, January, 1830, No 6. OF A a Professor Robert Scott says, in the letter in which it was enclosed: You will find above, all I have been able to procure in order to replace the lost fragment of 'lizie Lindsay.' I believe it is not so correct or so Complete as what was formerly sent, but there are materials enough to operate upon, and by forcing the memory of the recorder more harm than good might have been done. J amieson says of b: Transmitted to the editor by Pro fessor Scott of Aberdeen, as it was taken down from the recitation of an old woman.6 It is very popular in the northeast of Scotland, and was familiar to the editor in his early youth; and from the imperfect recollection which he still retains Of it he has corrected the text in two or three unimportant passages.
