		I want particularly to investigate the opening-up of mythology's mysteries to people of both sexes who did not go to secondary school and college, and to women in particular--that is, the groups which did not until the nineteenth century have access to classical languages.
		Returning now to the theme of this paper--the democratization of classical mythology in America to 1855, I am using here the older definition of mythology which I believe is still the popular one, a traditional body of knowledge about old stories, and the stories to which I refer are those of Greece and Rome.

	Godey's Lady's Book - Apr. 1850
		THERE is something about rural superstitions that is extremely pleasing to the imagination; particularly those which relate to the good-humored race of household demons, and, indeed, to the whole fairy mythology.

		I always have them in mind when I see a fine old English mansion, with its wide hall and spacious kitchen; or a venerable farm-house, in which there is so much fireside comfort and good housewifery.
