Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Byways in British Archaeology
HE following chapters, though superficially presenting the appearance of disconnected essays, really possess a strong bond of continuity. Running through the whole, implied, where not actually expressed, will be found an insistence on the principle which, in a former work, I ventured to call folk-memory. This folk-memory - unconsciously, for the most part, but sometimes with open ceremony - keeps alive those popular beliefs and prac tices which are individually called survivals. With some of these legacies from the past the present volume deals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
