_THE OLDEN-TIME SERIES._ 16mo. Per vol., 50 cents.

There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for quaint
and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this, Mr. Henry

will contain much material for history, so combined and presented as to be
both amusing and instructive. The titles of some of the volumes indicate
their scope and their promise of entertainment:--"Curiosities of the Old
Lottery," "Days of the Spinning Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious
Punishments," "Quaint and Curious Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities,"
"New-England Sunday," etc.
