Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 3: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; Popular Superstitions This volume to some extent forms a second volume to that on Manners and Customs. I have had to refer on several occasions in the following pages to the papers printed there, and it has been often times difficult to determine the best arrangement for the undigested mass of material which the correspondents of the Old Gentleman's Magazine so constantly forwarded. That this material is valuable there cannot, I think, be a doubt; and I trust that the arrange ment of it in these volumes of collections may be found adequately to preserve it in the most accessible form for the use of students. I must express my deep gratitude toxthe many kind correspondents who have forwarded me suggestions and corrections, and have helped me in many ways and particularly I have to thank Mr. R. H. Luard for a list of errata which he has discovered in the two preceding volumes of the series. This list will be printed, and I shall be most happy to receive any assistance of this sort, so that the books may become of that permanent value which I claim {or them, and seek to make them.
