THE OLDEN TIME SERIES

Ye Olden Time Series.

During the Spring of 1886 Ticknor and Company began the publication of "Ye Olden Time Series, or Gleanings from the Old Newspapers, chiefly of Boston and Salem," with brief Comments by Henry M. Brooks, of Salem, Massachusetts. Six volumes are now ready: each in 1 vol. 16mo. Cloth. Price, 50 cents per vol.

Of this Series there are now ready:—

Vol. I. CURIOSITIES OF THE OLD LOTTERY.
Vol. II. DAYS OF THE SPINNING-WHEEL IN NEW ENGLAND.
Vol. III. NEW-ENGLAND SUNDAY.
Vol. IV. QUAINT AND CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.
Vol. V. SOME STRANGE AND CURIOUS PUNISHMENTS.
Vol. VI. LITERARY CURIOSITIES.

The Series will be continued, and the following are some of the titles of forthcoming volumes:—

"New-England Music in the Latter Part of the 18th and in the Beginning of the 19th Century."

"Travel in Old Times, with Some Account of Stages, Taverns, etc."

"Curiosities of Politics, among the Old Federalists and Republicans."

"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.

"A treat of good things out of the past. While not professing to be history, they will contain much material for history."—Literary World.

Sold by all Booksellers. Sent, post-paid, on receipt of price by the Publishers,
