Though I cite widely it is not a mere collection of folk-belief: it is a history of soul-belief, over a given area, treated in a comparative light. That the contents are taken from our own land does not lessen its interest. I use the term Celtic as a linguistic convenience, not as racial: the bulk of the material is from among the Gadhelic-speaking area, where I was naturally able to draw upon my own knowledge of facts which awoke in me an early curiosity.\nI am again beholden to the Carnegie Trust for their help by a grant in aid of publication, for which I offer my grateful thanks.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0THE UNIVERSITY,\n GLASGOW, May, 1911.","title":"Survivals in Belief Among the Celts: Preface","type":"page"}
