Book Description
Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1925, Vol. 24 The field of the American Folk-Lore Society has been defined by Mr. Newell as including the beliefs, customs, and oral literature of the aborigines of North and South and Central America, as well as the folk-lore that has come into America with the immigration of the various European stocks. Professor J. G. Frazer, in his inaugural address at Liverpool two years ago, divided the field covered by such a definition into two parts, calling the one the study of savagery, and retaining the name "folk-lore" (in accordance with its original use) for the study of those survivals or remainders of an earlier belief and practice which are to be found among the so-called civilized nations of our day. And he states very clearly the reason for attaching to the beliefs and traditions of the more backward part of our civilized populations the same significance as to the social and psychological phenomena of savagery. He is speaking of religion; but what he says applies as well to science, art, and civil institutions: "The present is the best guide to the interpretation of the past; for while the higher forms of religious faith pass away like clouds, the lower stand firm and indestructible like rocks." It is upon this ground only, it seems to me, that the study of folklore in the narrower sense - the study of "the beliefs, customs, and oral literature" of the less-sophisticated part of our civilized populations - can be justified in the eyes of science. Without this postulate, folk-lore must stand exposed to the charge once made by a carping critic against philology, - the charge of being "an unintelligent curiosity about trifles."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1928, Vol. 27 From this table it is clear, that, in twenty-six mythologies, the total number of tales explaining the heavenly bodies and meteorological and hydrographic phenomena is 138, while the total number referring to earthly or local matters is 1053. In other words, conclusions based on twenty-six separate mythologies quite bear out those based on Eskimo alone. The total number of celestial explanations is only one-eighth of the total number of terrestrial explanations.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, Vol. 14 There are two possible explanations of the different manifesta tions of the mind of man. It may be that the minds of different races show differences of organization; that is to say, the laws of mental activity may not be the same for all minds. But it may also be that the organization of mind is practically identical among all races of man; that mental activity follows the same laws every where, but that its manifestations depend upon the character of individual experience that is subjected to the action of these laws.
