"A capitally-written book, containing a vast amount of curious and
out-of-the-way information. Mr. Andrews is never for a moment dull, but
gives forth his antiquarian gossip with all the enthusiasm and point of
a practised _raconteur_. _He tells us all about the ducking-stool, the
brank, the pillory, the stocks, the drunkard's cloak, the whipping-post,
riding the stang, and other forms of punishment._ The book is copiously
illustrated and well indexed, and cannot fail to be popular."--_Sunday
Times._
