Allusion
[...] The lawless and predatory habits of the ancient borderers, so large a portion of whom inhabited this county [i.e. Northumberland], are well known they were finally suppressed about the commencement of the last century; and the numerous ballads in which the achievements of these half-licensed brigands were celebrated, have, like the ballad of Robin Hood, ceased to engage the public mind, but have assumed a less changeable form in the volumes of Percy and of Scott, as lasting memorials of a state of manners which, at least in Britain, has probably disappeared for ever.[1]
