FOLK-LORE CONGRESS, 1891.
THE arrangements for the Folk-lore Congress are pro- gressing very satisfactorily, and there is now every prospect of a successful meeting. The adhesions have come in freely, and the guarantee fund has been subscribed to with great liberality. Altogether it is probable that the Folk-lore Congress of 1891 will be attended by a large number of experts from the Continent and America.
Already much work has been done in the way of pre- paration. As will be remembered, the Congress takes its mandate from the Folk-lore Congress held at the Paris Exhibition in 1889; and the present Congress will be held under the auspices of its patrons, included in the following list:
Comité de Patronage of the Congress of 1889.
Messrs. Alessandri, Roumanian Minister, Paris (deceased). |
Messrs. MacRitchie (David), Secretary of the Gypsy-lore Society. |
