Excerpt from Observations on Popular Antiquities, Including the Whole of Mr. Bourne's Antiquitates Vulgares, With Addenda to Every Chapter of That Work: As Also an Appendix Containing Such Articles on the Subject as Have Been Omitted by the Author

I would not be thought a reviver of old rites and ceremonies to the burdening of the people, nor an abolisher of innocent customs, which are their plea sures and recreations: I aim at nothing, but a regu lation of those which are in being amongst them, which they themselves are far from thinking burden some, and abolishing such only as are sinful and wicked.
