Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Ex-library book with the usual stickers, stamps, faults. The fourth volume of the Texas Folklore Society bore only the gen-I the series and a numeral. This reprint, which includes a &fished in 1946 in memory of Leonidas Warren Payne, Jr., taken from Kittredge's preface to the first volume, which by Stith Thompson. d John A. Lomax were co-founders of the Society. They dent stories of its beginning. The date given by Payne for g. 1909, is correct; Lomax's date is one year late. Kitt!estion that a folklore society be organized in Texas was Jr by Lomax, and he and Payne acting together gave the tart. Some years later Kittredge came down to deliver an at the Society's annual meeting. And he wrote a preface to volume of the Publications in 1916. projects sketched by Payne and Dobie in their prefatory re-BD the fourth volume of the Publications have since been carried As secretary and editor Dobie made the Society move ahead. It Payne and H. T. Parlin who, with the assistance of Eugene C. in the Department of History, brought Dobie back from Still-against the wishes of the senior professors of English. At the Ed his foreword Dobie indicates he will be "at home" in Austin September 1, 1925. Without Dobie to collect and to urge others the annual volumes of the Society might not have become the storehouse of folklore that they are. is good that the fourth volume is again available to the public. it proper to combine with it the pamphlet giving the early history the Society.
