Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1908, Vol. 2 Among our losses we have specially to regret the death of Mr. J. A. Doyle, the historian of the colonial period of the history of the present United States. Of his five volumes the first was published in 1882. He had other interests and pursuits, and we had to wait a long time for the completion of his work his last two volumes appeared a few months before his death. As an historian he faithfully adhered to the rule which he laid down for himself in the Preface to his History of the Puritan Colonies, ' never to be content with any authority short of the best that could be had, and his work is not less distinguished by the thorough ness with which he treated every side of his subject than it is by the accuracy of his statements and the soundness of his conclusions.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1918, Vol. 1 The sort of false rumours that I have been quoting above were all concerning matters of high political or military import. But the Middle Ages were no less rife in popular fictions which were purely anecdotal, mar vellous, or intended to act as moral warnings. Tales of ghosts, devils, or impossible natural phenomena, of awful instances Of divine judgment on criminals, heretics, or blasphemers, used to pass freely from mouth to mouth, and sometimes even to get enshrined in a chronicle by some credulous writer greedy of anecdotes. For the sort of thing that would nowadays appear among the 'short paragraphs' of a halfpenny newspaper would in the thirteenth century have appealed to the less severe type of chronicler. The parallels of the gigantic straw berry or the five-ounce hen's-egg of to-day were such things as an apparition of the devil in Essex, or the Swallowing up by the 'earth of a woman at Newbury who was adding appeals to God to rank perjury. If the place was sufficiently remote from the chronicler's abode, the story might get down in black and white. The length of time for which some of these legends passed current is extraordinary. They emerge sub stantially identical in outline, but with place and name and date changed, at very long intervals, and in very different parts of Europe. They were still strong in the seventeenth century, and I Should not like to say that they altogether died out in the eighteenth. They were the parents of many ballads and chap-books.

The leg during the attacks shows patchy erythema, and is the seat of pain, increasing in severity at night. While in bed the leg becomes comparatively flabby, being less tense than when he is getting about. The patient states that the swelling began in his foot, and that he had to cut his boot. For three years after 1895 the swelling of the leg remained comparatively slight. He can walk about with difficulty.

It is my purpose to co-ordinate its various branches, and from customs surviving in a mutilated and half-hearted fashion, more particularly within our own Islands, to deduce the origin and meaning of Tree-worship in the past. The subject is one which touches both anthropology and folklore, and in both these aspects it is worthy of consideration by the members of a learned Society such as this.

Download or read book Victorian Songhunters written by E. David Gregory and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Songhunters is a pioneering history of the rediscovery of vernacular song—street songs that have entered oral tradition and have been passed from generation to generation—in England during the late Georgian and Victorian eras. In the nineteenth century there were four main types of vernacular song: ballads, folk lyrics, occupational songs, and national songs. The discovery, collecting, editing, and publishing of all four varieties are examined in the book, and over seventy-five selected examples are given for illustrative purposes. Key concepts, such as traditional balladry, broadside balladry, folksong, and national song, are analyzed, as well as the complicated relationship between print and oral tradition and the different methodological approaches to ballad and song editing. Organized chronologically, Victorian Songhunters sketches the history of English song collecting from its beginnings in the mid-seventeenth century; focuses on the work of important individual collectors and editors, such as William Chappell, Francis J. Child, and John Broadwood; examines the growth of regional collecting in various counties throughout England; and demonstrates the considerable efforts of two important Victorian institutions, the Percy Society and its successor, the Ballad Society. The appendixes contain discussions on interpreting songs, an assessment of relevant secondary sources, and a bibliography and alphabetical song list. Author E. David Gregory provides a solid foundation for the scholarly study of balladry and folksong, and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Victorian intellectual and cultural life.
