GEORGE BLOOMFIELD._The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

_January 23, 1823._

The MSS. from whence the present selections have been hastily made, were

accompanied by a letter from George Bloomfield, written nearly a month

ago. They were delayed by the person who transmitted the parcel till the

opportunity of noticing them in this work had almost passed. All that

could be done in an hour or two is before the reader; and no more has

been aimed at than what appears requisite to awaken sympathy and crave

assistance towards an aged and indigent brother of the author of the

_Farmer’s Boy_. George’s present feelings will be better represented by

his own letter than by extracting from it.
