BALLADS.
Ballads, ове critic says, are not poetry. Professor Rolins of America, however. thinks them worth while, and has published a xollection, 1053 to 1625, of old English specimens. (Cambridge University Press.) Other critics say that a ballad maker is not a poet, but a person who succeeds, sometimes, in making poetry. Have it as you like it. Many of those old ballads are, more hulasa in their appeal than ibury poems. Ballads have a beauty, when they have it, that is natural rather than technical There is an obvious joy! taken by the bailndist in his sinisi ple medium, as when one sings :
