"What Mr. Brooks has thus gleaned has a noteworthy interest, not only as

offering a fund of amusement to young and old, but as having a certain

value to the student of New-England history, and an instructiveness for

the general reader."--_Boston Advertiser._

history, they will contain much material for history."--_Literary
