    About this ebook

    Have a certain value, in spite of its imperfections. The expert folk-lorist may find much to criticise; but this book, treating of popular beliefs, is intended for popu lar reading. It has been the writer's aim to make the chapter on the horse-shoe as exhaustive as possible, as this attractive symbol of superstition does not appear to have received hitherto the attention which it merits. This chapter is the outgrowth of a paper read at the seventh annual meeting of the American folk-lore Society, at Philadelphia, December 28, 1895, an ab stract of which appeared in the Society's Journal for December, 1896.
