John Brand's almanac of British superstitions and customs was first published in 1777 as a heavily revised and annotated version of Henry Bourne's Antiquitates Vulgares (1725). Following the success of the book's initial reception, Brand continued to research English folklore with the intention of publishing fuller information. This two-volume version, published posthumously in 1813, was edited and expanded by Sir Henry Ellis. Brand's book is regarded as the foundation for folklore studies in England.
