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 +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:—</p> + +<p style="margin-left: 1em;"> +<span class="smcap">Curiosities of the Old Lottery.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap">Days of the Spinning-Wheel.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap">Some Strange and Curious Punishments.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap">Quaint and Curious Advertisements.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap">Literary Curiosities.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap">New-England Sunday, etc.</span><br /> +</p> + +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> + +<p>"It has been the good fortune of the writer to be allowed a peep at the +manuscript for this series, and he can assure the lovers of the historical +and the quaint in literature that something both valuable and pleasant is +in store for them. In the specialties treated of in these books Mr. Brooks +has been for many years a careful collector and student, and it is +gratifying to learn that the material is to be committed to book +form."—<i>Salem Gazette.</i></p> + +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> + +<p><i>For sale by all Booksellers.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/21675-h/images/cover.jpg b/21675-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644
