LONDON: W. SATCHELL & Co., 19, TAVISTOCK ST., COVENT GARDEN _Price 2s. 6d._, THE BOOK OF ODDITIES, AND PUNISHMENTS IN THE OLDEN TIME. BY WILLIAM ANDREWS, F.R.H.S. With numerous Illustrations BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK, CROWQUILL, CUTHBERT BEDE, AND OTHERS. CONTENTS:--Revivals after Execution--A Human Pincushion--Female Jockeys--A Blind Road-maker--Odd Showers--Singular Funerals--Whimsical Wills--Curious Epitaphs--People and Steeple Rhymes--Dog-Whippers--Sluggard-Wakers--Playing at Cards for a Town, &c. &c. "A capitally-written book, containing a vast amount of curious and out-of-the-way information. Mr. Andrews is never for a moment dull, but gives forth his antiquarian gossip with all the enthusiasm and point of a practised _raconteur_. _He tells us all about the ducking-stool, the brank, the pillory, the stocks, the drunkard's cloak, the whipping-post, riding the stang, and other forms of punishment._ The book is copiously illustrated and well indexed, and cannot fail to be popular."--_Sunday Times._ LONDON: W.
