_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 M. Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The
materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and
Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be
history, the volumes 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.

of the life of Merrie England, as exemplified by her august castles and
palaces, abbeys and cathedrals.
