English Jacobite Ballads, Songs and Satires, etc. is a book edited by Alexander B. Grosart. The book contains a collection of ballads, songs, and satires related to the Jacobite movement in England. The Jacobites were supporters of the deposed King James II and his descendants, who were seen as the rightful heirs to the throne.
