in prose, a tale which Perrault told only in verse.  These found their way into French and Flemish editions after 1707.  Our earliest English translation seems to be that of 1729, and the name of ‘Mother Goose’ does not appear to occur in English literature before that date.  It is probably a translation of ‘Ma Mere l’Oie,’ who gave her name to such old wives’ fables in France long before Perrault’s time, as the spider, Ananzi, gives his name to the ‘Nancy Stories’ of the negroes in the West Indies.  Among Scott’s Century of Inventions, unfulfilled projects for literary work, few are more to be regretted than his intended study of the origin of Popular Tales, a topic no longer thought ‘obnoxious to ridicule.’”—­A.L.
