Excerpt from English Fairy Tales, Folklore and Legends The stories have yet to be discovered which can compete with folk-lore stories in fascination for the young, and the reason for this it is not hard to divine. The folk-lore tale has had its origin among plain, artless people, in many respects only grown up children, and its survival to our times is simply evidence of these people having regarded it as being too excellent for them to allow it to be lost.

Excerpt from English Folklore Folklore, then, has evolved from a record of old women's chatter and rustic festivals into a science dealing with the whole of folk thought and prae tice. It might be defined as the science which studies the expression, in popular beliefs, insti tutions, practices, oral literature, and arts and pastimes, of the mental and spiritual life of the folk, the people in general, in every stage of bar barism and culture. It is at the base of all other sciences, and appears in all of them at their early stages, and often survives to a late one; thus, astronomy has evolved out of astrology, and'chem istry out of alchemy. Scientific medicine is the child of medical folklore, and has retained in its pharmacopoeia until quite recent years such folk medicines as mummy-powder and pulverised toad, and still uses at the head of its prescriptions a sign which is probably in reality the astrological sign for Jupiter, as a written charm or an invocation of the protecting god.

Excerpt from Folk Tales and Fairy Lore: In Gaelic and English; Collected From Oral Tradition I have pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mrs. Macdougall for her whole-hearted interest in the progress of the work from first to last, for transcribing the English Text, and for approving numerous minor changes in expression, which I had suggested, and thus relieving me from the sole responsibility of making those changes. It is but right to say, however, that as the work advanced through the press, I felt Impelled to make the alterations in the text, and especially in the translation, much more thorough-going than I had at first contemplated.

Excerpt from British Fairy and Folk Tales When the bell-ringing was over there were more stars in the darkening sky, and presently the moon rose, large and red, from behind the wood in which the rooks were sleeping. A bend of the river was alight directly. All was so still that Teel heard now and then the faint creak of the insects stirring in the bushes Of the common, and the whirr of the night-moth as she flew by. Heigho he sighed. I get nothing by this thinking, so I will go home to my good dame. He was about to rise, when a young rabbit leapt into his lap. The rabbit tamely suffered him to pull its ears. Silly puss! Said the shoemaker; when you jump into the lap of a man who has an empty cupboard, don't you know that you are good to eat? But never fear, small creature. AS you trust me, you shall take no harm.

Excerpt from British Folk-Lore, Folk-Songs, and Singing Games To the nursery tales must be added the nursery games. These are now dying out, and yet they contain, by the machinery of their preservation through many generations of children taught by mothers and nurses, facts of our oldest history. They mimic the acts of the men and women of old times, and in this way bring back to us pictures of old life and manners of a particularly vivid description. This branch of folk-lore has been studied exhaustively, and Lady Gomme's Traditional Games of Children in England, Scotland, and Ireland affords a good example of what can be accomplished from a complete study of a special branch of folk-lore. Apart from those books which deal with the science of the subject, there are many collections, pure and simple, of legends, traditions, ballads, songs, customs; beliefs, and games. All these may be read with a great deal of pleasure. Care is needed to distinguish the good collection of these facts from the comments which the collector sometimes indulges in. A good collection of folk-lore is not always - or, rather, is very seldom - a safe guide for discussion of the origin or significance of any given item. But, these defects aside, the fine collections at the disposal of readers will repay perusal. And, if the reader should pass from the stage of reader to that of student, should desire to add to the sum of man's knowledge of man, there is a great work before him. He may collect still the remaining fragments of traditional story or traditional custom and belief. And the work of collection will be a delight and pleasure to him; for it will introduce him to men and women of great character and individuality, living documents of history. He may help to classify and arrange the material already collected, so that it may be ready for the use of the scientific scholar. The work is not difficult to a patient and systematic worker. It will be warmly received by many distinguished scholars, who would gladly welcome such aid to their own labours, and who would always freely recognize and make acknowledgment for such help. Organ ized bands of workers, spending their winter evenings in this way, would find themselves doing something of importance for the world of thought and research.
