Description:Foreword "Lucks and Talismans does not profess to be a complete study of the one time universal belief in these tutelary objects. Nor do I imagine that the instances I have cited represent a tithe of those known to have existed or which yet survive, treasured possessions of the peoples and families in whose histories they have played in the past so prominent a part: valued if not for their one-time reputedly marvelous powers, then at least for their historical, romantic and often great artistic interest. The material, such as it is, that has gone to the making of this book was gathered in the first place to satisfy my own curiosity; nowhere could I find any comprehensive survey of the history of palladia either family or national, any study of those manifold influences that were reflected either in the nature of the lucks themselves or had impressed themselves upon the legends that, in the course of time, have become attached to them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
