This brings the American child's fairy tale up to recent publications of the present day which are given in the chapter, "Sources of Material." An attempt has been made here to give a glimpse of folk and fairy tales up to the time of the Grimms, and a view of modern publications in France, Germany, England, and America. The Grimms started a revolution in folk-lore and in their lifetime took part in the collection of many tales of tradition and influenced many others in the same line of work. An enumeration of what was accomplished in their lifetime appears in the notes of _Grimm's Household Tales_, edited by Margaret Hunt, published by Bonn's Libraries, vol. II, pp.

531. etc.

In modern times the Folk-Lore Society of England and America has been established. Now almost every nation has its folk-lore society and folk-tales are being collected all over the world. Altogether probably Russia has collected fifteen hundred such tales, Germany twelve hundred, Italy and France each one thousand, and India seven hundred.

The work of the Grimms, ended in 1859, was continued by Emanuel Cosquin, who, in his _Popular Tales of Lorraine_, has made the most important recent contribution to folklore,--important for the European tale and important as showing the relation of the European tale to that of India.
