This book is not written for the use of members of Anthropological Expeditions, whose work demands far more thorough acquaintance with the subject than could possibly be conveyed in a single volume. It is addressed to officers of the public services to missionaries, travellers settlers, and others whose lot is cast among uncivilized or half-civilized populations abroad; to residents in country places at home to medical men philanthropic workers and all educated persons whose lives and duties bring them into touch with the uneducated. Such persons have it in their power to contribute very greatly to the advance of an important study the value of which is as yet hardly fully appreciated ; and it is believed that they will be willing to do so, if only the way is pointed out to them. To do this is the aim of the Handbook of Folklore.
