"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._
