This three-volume collection of historical ballads, compiled by Thomas Percy (1729–1811), achieved great popularity upon its publication in 1765. It generated much interest in the genre, undented by Percy's oft-criticised editorial practices. Volume 1 includes 'The Ballad of Chevy Chase', 'The Jew's Daughter', and a ballad of Robin Hood.
