    T\ H. Johnson, M.B. .Sunderland; Mrs. Murray, Torquay; Mr. T. P. Teale. P.B.S. Leeds; Mr. George Markham Tweddell, Stokesley; Mr. P. J. Wharam, Durham; Mr. C. Waistall, Cotlierstone; and Mr. W. Wilcox, Whitburn. To my friend the Lev. George Ornsby I am under still further obligations for much valuable general assistance in my undertaking, and to the Lev. S. Baring-Gould for many notes of exceeding interest, and for much of the Introductory Chapter, including all the references to the Patliers and Schoolmen. The notes are dispersed throughout the work, and are dis- tinguished by his initials. I must further add, that I have not pursued my labours single-handed, although it is the wish of my fellow-worker, who desires only to be designated by the initials S.W., that this volume comes out under my name alone. I cannot, however, in justice do less than state here that her share in the work has been fully equal to my own. In comparing and classifying the subject-matter of this volume, I have chiefly used the following books : Brand’s Popular Antiquities,— Choice Notes from Notes and Queries: Folk-Lore,—Kelly’s Indo-Euro- pean Traditions,—Thorpe’s Mythology and Popular Traditions of Scandinavia,—and Bicliardson’s Local Historian1 s Table Book. Durham, 1800.
