Folk Lore Relics Of Early Village Life PDF Download

Excerpt from Folk-Lore Relics of Early Village Life I Do not offer this book as a scientific exposition of Folk-lore, though I hope the scientific will find nothing in it to quarrel with. I cannot pretend that the studies on the subject which I now put forward are in all ways complete, or satisfying; but while I do not think that the folk-lore not included in my pages will destroy the argument I advance, I am quite aware that to deal properly with the subject it would be necessary to re-arrange and re-docket all the items of Folk-lore now existing in our goodly collections. This one day I hope to do: for the present I give a small, and perhaps fragmentary instalment of a big subject. I should like, however, to say exactly how these studies of mine meet the position I would claim for Folk-lore.
