Extract

No one who visits any corner of Turkish Greece can fail to be struck with the closeness of the links which bind it to free Hellas; he will find not only that the language and religion are the same, but that an identity of manners and customs exists, both in society at large, and also among those families which have happily survived the Turkish domination. A strange point is that certain ancient customs, which are to-day represented in no part of free Hellas, are still kept up and flourish in Macedonia.

* The task of collecting and recording remarkable instances of modern Greek folk-lore and customs appears to be an object which may usefully occupy the attention of members of the foreign schools at Athens.

The writer of this article is a Greek lady who was attached, during the past season, to the British School, and who, by her attainments, no less than by the circumstances of her nationality, is peculiarly fitted for the work she has here undertaken. I hope that this may be the beginning of many valuable studies of the same kind.
