49 Chesterton Road, Cambridge - Has just parted from J. Roscoe, who has lent him 'Folk-Lore in the Old Testament' and who tells him the chapter relating to the marriage of cousins is important, but he has been drawn to other chapters, such as that on the 'Bundle of life'; as for 'The Sin of a Census' he relates a story he has heard that shepherds in the Lake District use a series of cardinal numbers unique to themselves.
