Mr. J. S. Stuart Glennie divides the study of man’s history into 
that of folk-life and of culture-life. The classification of folk-lore 1s 
identical with the psychological elements of folk-life, correspond- 
ing (A) with the most general facts of human consciousness : (1) 
An external world, (2) other beings, (3) an ancestral world; (B) 
(1) festivals, (2) ceremonies, (3) usages (religious, sexual and oy 
cial). Folk-sayings may be classified as (1) recipes (magical, 
medical and technical) ; (2) saws (proverbs, tests, riddles) (3), fore- 
casts (omens, weather signs and auguries). Folk-poesy may i 
classified as (1) stories, (2) songs (mythological, affectional an 
historical), and (3) sagas.
