Excerpt from Barrack-Room Ballads, and Other Verses The greater part of the Barrack-room Ballads, ' as well as Cleared.' 'evarra, ' 'the Explanation, ' The Conundrum, ' Tomlinson, ' and the English Flag have appeared in the National Observer. Messrs. Macmillan and Co. Have kindly given me permission to reproduce four ballads contributed to their Magazine, and I am indebted to the St. Jam: Gazette for a like courtesy in regard to the ballads of the Clampherdown' and Bolivar, ' and the Im perial Rescript.' The Rhyme of the Three Captains was printed first in the Atkenaeum. I fancy that most of the other verses are new.
