From International Robin Hood Bibliography
Scott, Walter, ed. 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. 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. 2 vols. [6], cxxxviii, [4], 258, [1], [1 blank]; [viii], 392, [1], [5 blank] pp. 8&oring;
According to some, a third volume was published at Edinburgh in 1803,[1] but this may in fact be volume III of the second edition. Some copies of the first edition have "[i]n three parts" on the half-title page though the title-page has "[i]n two volumes". I believe they were meant t form a set with the third volume of the second edition (with or without an appropriately altered title-page for the latter).
