This volume of 700 pages is a solid collection of 10, 949 folk-lore items
which were collected personally within the area of a particular county in the State of Illinois. There is an index but no text accompanying the collection. It was found impossible to attempt any classification of the items according to the European stock from which they came. The modern anthropological school of extensionists would therefore frown on any endeavour to make use of the material psychologically. Nevertheless it constitutes a substantial handbook of sources.
