A small correction, if I may (while honking my own horn). The mss. was actually discovered by me in the Barry Collection at Harvard a few decades ago. There were 16 boxes, I recall, of uncatalogued material and scattered about were portions of the unpublished manuscript. I pieced them together and sent a copy to Sandy Ives to see if the Folklife Center at the Univ. of Me at Orono might be interested in publishing it. He declined, so I then sent it to the American Folklore Society. They sent it to Sandy (again) for his opinion and he apparently passed on it again. And there it sat until Pauleena MacDougall, God bless her, expressed an interest. She gives me a nice acknowledgement in the foreword.
