MINSTRELSY OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER: CONSISTING OF HISTORICAL AND ROMANTIC BALLADS, COLLECTED IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF SCOTLAND; WITH A FEW OF MODERN DATE, FOUNDED UPON LOCAL TRADITION (2 Volumes): compiled by Sir W. Scott: Kelso, Printed By James Ballantyne, For T. Cadell Jun. And W. Davies, Strand, London; And Sold by Manners and Miller, and A. Constable, Edinburgh, 1802. First Edition.

Pages Volume I, [4], Half Title, Engraved frontis, Title, Dedication, cxxxviii, 258, Errata: Volume II , [4], Half Title, Title, Title for Part Second, Contents 2, 392 Errata. Title for Part Third is on pp308. After a couple of minor publications this was Scott’s first major work. Printed in Kelso, near Edinburgh, by  his friend James Ballantyne, published in the Strand, London, by Cadell and Davies, and sold both in London and Edinburgh and Scotland, the first edition of  two volumes contained 52 assorted ballads in Three Parts, “Historical Ballads” in volume I, “Romantic” and “Imitations” in volume II. A print run of only 800 copies was made. It was a great success and a second edition running to three volumes was published in 1803 and printed in much greater numbers. The price for the complete 1802 edition 1Guinea (One Pound and One Shilling) for copies in boards, and was thus a handsome, printed set aimed at readers with money, “taste” and a fashionable interest in preserved, vernacular folk poetry. Five editions and a number of reprints were published during Scott’s lifetime. These editions are variously available today in libraries with rare books collections. Very few of the First Edition ever become available. The books are in Good condition. Minor cracks in the hinges of volume II, all joints are solid and firm. Minor bumps at board corners, minor chips at spine head of vol I. Internally both volumes are tight and generally clean with only minor marks and spots a some pages. They have not been recently re-bound but are likely to have been some time in the last 50 to 100 years. Very, very scarce first editions of this major work and in lovely solid condition.
