=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Edwin Sidney Hartland (1848–1927) was an author of works on folklore.<br />His works include anthologies of tales, and theories on anthropology and mythology with an ethnological perspective. He believed that the assembling and study of persistent and widespread folklore provided a scientific insight into custom and belief. Hartland was president of the Folklore Society, 1899–1901, and contributed to its journal Folk-Lore; his earlier contributions included a dispute with Andrew Lang.[1]<br />Hartland was born in Islington, eventually making his career as a solicitor in Swansea. His father, E. J. Hartland, was a congregational minister. Throughout his life he served in many judicial positions and on public committees in Swansea and at Gloucester, and took a particular interest in education.[2]<br /><br />There is an obit. by A. C. Haddon in Folklore Vol. 37, No. 2 (Jun. 30, 1926), pp. 178-192<br /><br /><br /><br />
