Excerpt from How to Study English Literature: With an Appendix on Fine Passages in Prose and Poetry 1. The object of this manual is to assist the student and the general reader in the study of English Literature. Consequently it is a book of methods, and there will be no attempt to tell the story of literature in these islands or to enter into detail respecting great writers and great periods. We seek to render the same service that a compass renders to a mariner in a voyage across the ocean - the compass, of itself, will accomplish nothing unless the mariner will adventure his ship on the high seas. In like manner it is hoped this little book will guide those who may use it in their first attempts to understand the subject, and by a wise economy of time and the adoption of true methods bring about the best results of enjoyment and culture.

THE following pages are based on Brand's Popular Antiquities, the edition published in 1841, supplemented by the results of later investigation. It deals with those superstitions and customs which are operative at the present time; and, as far as is possible, to trace these to their original sources. In some cases the task is fairly easy, in others very difficult. In a few instances the "prime origin," to use the words of Brand, is absolutely unattainable.
