"Better a child had ne'er been born, Than cut his nails on a Sunday morn." "Folk-lore has in these days become an important branch of antiquarian research. The study of the traditions, superstitions, customs, and proverbial sayings of mankind is necessarily most extensive...Not only are all these things most interesting in themselves, but they derive still greater interest from the light when the study of them throws upon the social and domestic life of our forefathers. It can surprise no one that Mr. Thiselton Dyer, to whom we are already indebted for his British Popular Customs Past and Present and Domestic Folk-Lore.
