Ninth Report of the Committee on Devonshire Folk-lore

by

G. Doe

Transactions of the Devonshire Association, Exeter: James G. Commin, Vol.  XVIII, (1886), pp. 103-105

Prepared by Michael Steer

The Report was presented at the Association’s July 1886 St. Marychurch meeting. The Devonshire Association, founded in 1862, is a non-profit organization, dedicated to the study and appreciation of all things Devonian. It is the only society concerned with every aspect of the county and is the only one of its kind in Britain. The Committee’s Report has been organized in the following section headings: Charms or Medical Superstitions; Witchcraft; Popular Beliefs and Sayings. The name of the contributor is appended to each of the notes.  In presenting their Report the Committee regretted that the notes received during the previous year had not reached their expectations, and desired members and their friends to favour the Committee with any notes on the Folk-Lore of our County that they might have opportunities of making.
