Origins of Popular Superstitions

From the cover: This book was first published in 1930 and presents a wide-ranging account of many of our most common superstitions - many still surprisingly prevalent today. These include beliefs and customs surrounding the days and seasons of the year, popular marriage customs, dreams, the use of palmistry, astrology, omens, and much else.
