National traditions serve to throw light upon ancient and modern mythology; and in many instances they are known to preserve traces of their fabulous descent, as will clearly appear in some of the following selections. It is the same with those of all nations, whether of eastern or western origin, Greek, Scythian, or Kamtschatkan. And hence, among every people just emerged out of a state of barbarism, the same causes lead to the production of similar compositions; and a chain of connection is thus established between the fables of different nations, only varied by clime and custom, sufficient to prove, not merely a degree of harmony, but secret interchanges and communications.Content:SIR TARQUINTHE GOBLIN BUILDERSMAB'S CROSSTHE PRIOR OF BURSCOUGHTHE EAGLE AND CHILDTHE BLACK KNIGHT OF ASHTONFAIR ELLEN OF RADCLIFFETHE ABBOT OF WHALLEYSIR EDWARD STANLEYGEORGE MARSH, THE MARTYRDR DEE, THE ASTROLOGERTHE SEERTHE EARL OF TYRONEHOGHTON TOWERTHE LANCASHIRE WITCHESPART THIRDSIEGE OF LATHOM.RAVEN CASTLETHE PHANTOM VOICETHE BAR-GAISTTHE HAUNTED MANOR-HOUSECLITHEROE CASTLETHE LAST OF THE LACIESTHE GREY MAN OF THE WOOD; OR, THE SECRET MINETHE FAIRIES' CHAPELTHE LUCK OF MUNCASTERTHE PEEL OF FOULDREYA LEGEND OF BEWSEYTHE BLESSINGTHE DULE UPO' DUN.WINDLESHAW ABBEYCLEGG HALLTHE MERMAID OF MARTIN MEERGEORGE FOXTHE DEMON OF THE WELLTHE SANDSTHE RING AND THE CLIFFTHE DEAD MAN'S HANDTHE LOST FARMTHE MAID'S STRATAGEMTHE SKULL HOUSERIVINGTON PIKEMOTHER RED-CAPTHE DEATH-PAINTERTHE CRYSTAL GOBLET
