Summary: "Lancashire Folk-lore" by John Harland and Thomas Turner Wilkinson is a collection of ethnographic studies written in the mid-19th century. The volume delves into the rich tapestry of superstitions, customs, and traditional beliefs of the people in Lancashire, exploring how these facets of folk culture have been preserved through generations, often intertwined with historical influences from various cultures that inhabited the region. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the region’s folk-lore, emphasizing its significance as a record of the collective beliefs that characterize the local population. The authors discuss the etymology of the term "folk-lore," positioning it as a vital element of popular tradition distinct from scholarly learning. They outline the structure of the volume, indicating that the first part will focus on superstitions while the second will address local customs observed throughout the year. The introduction serves to memorialize the rapidly vanishing lore and stresses the importance of documenting these beliefs as they reflect the region's unique heritage.
