Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England: Including Rivers, Lakes, Fountains and Springs The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition Of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well - worship in its broadest sense, a worship simple and. More dignified than a senseless crouching before idols. An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. That sins of omission and of commission may herein be found it is not denied, but they are, it is hoped, few and far between. No attempt has been made at scientific classification or arrange ment other than the placing of the wells under their respective counties, ' Until those of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland have been collected, such a course would seem premature.
