+
+There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for
+quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this,
+Mr. Henry M. 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:--
+
+ CURIOSITIES OF THE OLD LOTTERY.
+ DAYS OF THE SPINNING-WHEEL.
+ SOME STRANGE AND CURIOUS PUNISHMENTS.
+ QUAINT AND CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.
+ LITERARY CURIOSITIES.
+ NEW-ENGLAND SUNDAY, ETC.
+
+"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."--_Salem Gazette._

+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+WHILE this work does not pretend to be a history, it will yet present
+many historical facts. Its object is to show from old newspapers, which
+are not accessible to all, such items and comments upon a variety of
+subjects as might be supposed to amuse or instruct both old and young.
+
+It is not the easy thing that many imagine to examine, read, and select
+from a vast number of newspapers such matter as is believed to be worth
+reproducing. Possibly to some it would seem to be a stupid and an
+uninteresting work. The Compiler, however, has found it a source of
+pleasure to make and arrange these selections; and the value of his work
+will be greatly enhanced if these volumes should prove of interest to
+any considerable number of persons.
+
+There appears to be from year to year a growing taste among the most
+cultivated people for quaint and curious reminiscences of the Olden
+Time; and as these volumes will be of a handy size for the pocket or
+carpetbag, it is hoped that they will be welcomed by many who would not
+undertake to read a more pretentious or cumbersome work on similar
+topics.

+
+
+CURIOSITIES OF THE OLD LOTTERY.
+
+
+PEOPLE of the present generation who look over files of old newspapers
+are filled with astonishment to see the great number of lotteries which
+are advertised, for many years, down to as late a period as the year
+1826. The Faneuil Hall Lottery, the Harvard College Lottery, the Rhode
+Island College Lottery, the Massachusetts State Lottery, and lotteries
+for a bridge over the River Parker, for Marblehead, for the Williamstown
+Free-school, for Episcopal and Congregational Churches, were all
+advertised, with numerous other projects. A lottery was proposed for the
+purpose of finishing Bunker Hill Monument, although the scheme was not
+carried out. It is perhaps not generally remembered that this monument
+was at length completed by means furnished by a Ladies' Fair, in 1840,
+and handsome contributions by several individuals. Among other
+contributors was the celebrated _danseuse_ Fanny Ellsler, who was at
+that time giving performances in Boston. Some of the best men in the
+community were interested in recommending the various schemes, and
+members of churches, men in high repute, bought and sold the tickets. In
+Salem, Mass., such well-known and esteemed citizens as John Jenks,
+Daniel Jenks, Thomas C. Cushing, of the "Gazette," John Dabney, the
+postmaster, Colonel John Russell, and the now venerable and respected
+Edward H. Payson--who, at the age of eighty, is still cashier of the
+First National (formerly the Commercial) Bank, to which office he was
+elected in 1826--sold tickets; so did Colonel John Hathorne. Colonel
+Henry Whipple, who is remembered as one of our best citizens, kept, in
+connection with his bookstore, a "Fortunate Lottery Office." Other names
+might be mentioned, but we think we have given enough to show the
+respectability of the calling. The better the man, the better the agent.
+Indeed, it was generally thought to be just as respectable to sell
+lottery-tickets as to sell Bibles; and we have seen them classed
+together in the same advertisement. Our observations have been confined
+chiefly to Boston and Salem prints, but we have no doubt that similar
+matter could be found in other papers. We propose now to give liberal
+extracts from some of the old advertisements of the different schemes,
+which will, we think, confirm what we have already said on the subject.
+Let us take first from the "Boston Gazette" of May 19, 1760, the lottery
+to raise $1,000 towards building a bridge over the River Parker, in
+Newbury. The managers were the first men in the place, and the tickets
+were sold by men of excellent standing in Boston.
+
+

+
+ NEWBURY, _May 17, 1760._
+
+ SCHEME of a LOTTERY,
+
+ FOR raising a Sum of Money for the building and maintaining a
+ Bridge over the River _Parker,_ in the Town of _Newbury,_ at
+ the Place called Old Town Ferry (in pursuance of an Act of
+ the General Court, passed in _April_ 1760) Wherein _Daniel
+ Farnham, Caleb Cushing, Joseph Gerrish, William Atkins,_ Esq.,
+ and Mr. _Patrick Tracy,_ Merchant, (or any Three of them) are
+ appointed Managers. The acting Managers are sworn to the
+ faithful Performance of their Trust.
+
+ _Newbury_-Lottery Number Four, consists of
+
+ 5000 Tickets, at Two Dollars each; 1655 of which are Benefit
+ Tickets of the following Value.
+
+
+ 1 of 500 Dollars, is 500 Dollars.
+ 4 of 100 are 400
+ 5 of 50 are 250
+ 6 of 40 are 240
+ 10 of 30 are 300
+ 14 of 20 are 280
+ 45 of 10 are 450
+ 75 of 8 are 600
+ 1495 of 4 are 5980
+ ---- ----
+ 1655 Prizes, amounting to 9000 Dollars.
+ 3345 Blanks.
+ ----
+ 5000 Tickets, at Two Dollars each 10000
+ To be paid in Prizes, 9000
+ ----
+ 1000 Dollars.
+
+ Remains to be applied for the Purpose aforesaid.
+
+ Two Blanks only to one PRIZE.
+
+ _THE Bridge aforesaid is already built, and upon a Settlement
+ of the Accounts, and Demands relative thereto, the Managers
+ of the former Lottery for that Purpose, were found to be
+ greatly in Debt: The Charges of building the Bridge, and
+ prosecuting the Lottery, amounting to much more than what was
+ allowed to be raised by the former Act of the General
+ Court--therefore the present Lottery is allowed._
+
+ _AND since the said Bridge so well answers the Expectation of
+ the Public, and the Travelling that Way thereby is rendered
+ much more easy and pleasant; the Managers doubt not there
+ will be a great Demand of the Tickets, from a Principle of
+ encouraging and promoting a Work of such general Utility, if
+ there were no other Inducement. But when they consider how
+ much this Scheme is calculated in Favour of the Adventurers,
+ there being many Prizes of great Value, and but two Blanks to
+ a Prize; they doubt not of a very speedy Sale of the
+ Tickets._
+
+ _Tickets purchas'd at_ Boston, _if fortunate, will be paid
+ off there. Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place
+ of Drawing; and as soon as finished, the Prizes will be
+ published in the_ Boston Gazette and Country Journal. _Gold
+ as well as Silver will be received for Tickets; and the
+ Prizes paid off accordingly. Prizes not demanded in Twelve
+ Months after Drawing, will be considered as given to the
+ common Stock for building and maintaining the said Bridge,
+ and will be so applied._
+
+ _Tickets are to be Sold by the Managers in_ Newbury, _by_
+ Ebenezer Storer, _Esq., and Son; Mr._ Timothy Newell; William
+ & James Jackson, _and the Printers hereof in_ Boston.
+

+
+The town of Taunton, Mass., was favored by a lottery grant in 1761 to
+aid in clearing the Great River.
+
+ _Taunton, March 16. 1761._
+
+ PUBLICK NOTICE is hereby given to all Persons who are so
+ disposed to encourage the Clearing of _Taunton_ Great-River,
+ (so beneficial to the Trade of this Province) by adventuring
+ in the LOTTERY granted for that Purpose, That the Managers of
+ said Lottery have determined to begin to draw the First Class
+ on Tuesday the 27th Day of _April_ next; the Town of
+ _Taunton_ having voted to take off all the Tickets that shall
+ remain unsold at that Day;--And all Persons who have taken
+ Tickets to dispose of, are desired to return them, or the
+ Money for them, by the First Day of said _April._
+
+
+ --> Tickets are yet to be had of Messir's _Gould_ and
+ Company, and of _Green & Russell,_ Printers in Queen Street,
+ _Boston._--As also of the Managers at their respective
+ Dwellings in _Taunton._
+
+Next we will take from the "Boston Post Boy" of November, 1762, the
+scheme to raise money to rebuild Faneuil Hall, after the fire of 1761.
+It will be noticed how small an amount was reserved for the purpose for
+which the Lottery was granted,--only $1,200. It seems as if a very small
+sum subscribed by every freeholder would have produced more money. If
+the population of Boston at that time was, say, twenty thousand, or
+three thousand families, fifty cents for every head of a family would
+have raised a larger sum than could possibly have been raised by the
+expensive and questionable process resorted to. At first sight it may
+seem strange to us that this was not thought of at the time; but when we
+reflect that even in our enlightened times people are quite as
+thoughtless about the processes of raising money for charitable or
+public purposes,--witness the numerous fairs and raffles which are
+constantly taking place,--we are not so much amazed at these old
+financial operations, nor do we think we can boast much of our superior
+morality when we look around and see how some things are managed
+nowadays.
+
+ _BOSTON, November 1, 1762._
+
+ SCHEME
+
+ OF A LOTTERY,
+
+ FOR Raising a Sum of Money for Re-building FANEUIL _Hall_;
+ agreeable to an Act of the General Court, wherein Messieurs
+ _Thomas Cushing, Samuel Hewes, John Scollay, Benjamin Austin,
+ Samuel Sewall, Samuel Phillips Savage,_ and _Ezekiel Lewis,_
+ or any Three of them, are appointed Managers, who are Sworn to
+ the faithful Discharge of their Trust.
+
+ FANEUIL-HALL Lottery, No. One, Consists of 6000 Tickets, at
+ Two Dollars each, 1486 of which are Benefit Tickets of the
+ following Value, _viz._
+
+ Dollars.
+ 1 Prize of 1000 Dollars, is 1000
+ 1 of 500 is 500
+ 2 of 200 are 400
+ 12 of 100 are 1200
+ 20 of 50 are 1000
+ 20 of 20 are 400
+ 30 of 10 are 300
+ 200 of 6 are 1200
+ 1200 of 4 are 4800
+ ---- ----
+ 1486 Prizes, 10800 Dollars.
+ 4514 Blanks.
+ ----
+ 6000 Tickets at 2 Dollars each, is 12,000 Dollars.
+ To be paid in Prizes, 10,800
+ ------
+ Remains 1200 Dollars,
+
+ to be applied to the Purpose aforesaid.
+
+ The Necessity of a large and convenient Hall in such a Town
+ as this, upon all Public Occasions, can't be disputed. The
+ Rebuilding _Faneuil-Hall_ has therefore been generally
+ approved of; and the Encouragement it will meet with from the
+ Public, will, we doubt not, be in some Measure proportionable
+ to its Importance: We promise ourselves therefore a speedy
+ Sale of the Tickets; and hope we shall soon be able to draw.
+
+ Public Notice will be given of the Time and Place of Drawing;
+ and as soon as the Drawing is finished, a List of the Prizes
+ will be published in _Edes_ and _Gill's Boston Gazette,_ &c.
+ and the Money paid to the Possessors of the Benefit Tickets,
+ in Twenty Days. Gold as well as Silver will be received for
+ the Tickets, and the Prizes paid off in like Manner.
+
+ Prizes not demanded within Twelve Months after Drawing, will
+ be deem'd as generously given for the Purpose aforesaid, and
+ will be applied accordingly.
+
+ --> Tickets may be had of the Managers, or of _Green &
+ Russell,_ in Queen-street, who will receive Prize Tickets in
+ LAND-BANK LOTTERY.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+In 1782 the State of Massachusetts granted a lottery for the benefit of
+the paper-mill at Milton.
+
+The Clergy were often asked to use their influence to promote special
+schemes. For instance, the Leicester Academy at Lancaster, Mass.,
+wishing to raise about $800, advertised on June 28, 1790, a lottery, the
+scheme comprising three thousand tickets at $2.00; and the managers,
+Edmund Heard and Ephraim Carter, say, "_As the design of this Lottery is
+for promoting Piety, Virtue, and such of the liberal Arts and Sciences
+as may qualify the Youth to become useful Members of Society, the
+Managers wish for and expect the aid of the Gentlemen Trustees of the
+Academy,_ the REVEREND CLERGY, _and all persons who have a taste for
+encouraging said Seminary of Learning_." Comment on this is unnecessary.
+As unscrupulous persons often sold drawn tickets,--for it seems there
+were irregularities even in those days,--the following advertisement
+warrants the tickets undrawn,--
+
+ Wheels very rich!
+
+ A FEW undrawn Tickets in Amoskeag Lottery for sale by
+ _John Russell._
+
+ --> The highest prize being so fixed as to come out whenever
+ Chance shall direct it, it stands purchasers in hand to be
+ seasonable in their applications. July 24, 1807.
+
+ _Lottery Price Current._--In Boston, Amoskeag Tickets,
+ warranted undrawn, 6 dolls. In Salem, at Russell's 5.50--at
+ Cushing and Appleton's, not warranted, 5.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+ _Further Information._--The Amoskeag highest prize, of Eight
+ Thousand Dollars, is still undrawn, and the wheels are
+ extraordinarily rich, having gained, since the drawing began,
+ upwards of Six Thousand Dollars. There is therefore every
+ probability that the scrip will soon rise. Those who intend
+ to purchase for the sake of a chance for the highest prize,
+ are advised to do it _before_ it is drawn out of the wheel,
+ which may be to-morrow. Those who purchase for the sake of a
+ cheap ticket, would do well to wait till _afterwards._ July
+ 24, 1807.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+ *** If any body wants
+ TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS,
+ they are requested to call on
+ JOHN RUSSELL,
+ who will, for a trifling consideration, put them in a
+ way to realize that, or another sum of less
+ magnitude, in the course of September
+ next, when the rich Wheels of Hatfield
+ Bridge Lottery will begin
+ to move.
+
+ --> Tickets will rise on the first of September to
+ 5.50--Prize Tickets exchanged. (1807)
+
+In 1776 the Continental Congress endeavored to raise a large sum by
+means of a lottery. On the first of November of that year the following
+Resolve was passed,--"That a sum of money be raised by way of lottery,
+to be drawn at Philadelphia." A committee was then empowered to manage
+this lottery, and agents were appointed in the several States to sell
+the tickets. From causes difficult now to explain, the drawing, which
+was to have taken place in 1777, was postponed from time to time, until
+finally, it is said, the whole scheme proved a failure. Many of the
+adventurers being large losers, much bad feeling was produced towards
+the Government. The design was to raise the money in the way of a loan.
+There were four classes of tickets, a hundred thousand in each,--$10,
+$20, $30, and $40; in all $10,000,000. In Lossing's "Field-Book of the
+Revolution," from which we derive this account, may be seen a copy of
+one of these lottery tickets. Probably the people were too poor at that
+time to furnish the requisite sum of money, and so the tickets did not
+sell readily; or the lottery may have been badly managed.
+
+Congregational Churches used to raise money by lottery, as appears by
+the following advertisement in the "Columbian Centinel," May 5, 1792,--
+
+ _NEWPORT LOTTERY TICKETS._
+
+ --> _A few TICKETS, in the Newport Congregational Church
+ Lottery, which commences drawing the 10th instant, may be had
+ at No._ 61 LONG-WHARF _if applied for immediately. May 5._
+
+ * * * * *
+
+At a town meeting held in Salem, Mass., on Dec. 28, 1789, "George
+Williams, Esq., General Fisk, and Joseph Sprague, Esq., were chosen a
+Committee to estimate the expense of clearing out the Channels in the
+North and South rivers; and to prefer a petition to the General Court
+for the grant of a _Lottery_ to aid the town in so beneficial an
+undertaking." We believe this project was never carried through; but we
+are of opinion that some residents of Salem would now welcome even a
+_raffle,_ if in that way their North River could be purified, as at
+present no other method seems so likely to succeed, judging from the

+ MARBLEHEAD, APRIL 3. The highest Prize in the State Lottery
+ was drawn by a number of Females: About thirty were joint
+ possessors of that fortunate number and five others: The
+ highest share in them did not exceed one dollar, and the
+ lowest was nine pence, expressive of the different abilities
+ of the concerned; by which circumstance, the property of the
+ prize is most agreeably divided: It has excited a smile in
+ the cheek of poverty, nor diminished the pleasure of those in

+
+ THE Managers present the public with the following SCHEME of
+ a LOTTERY, granted by the Hon. General Assembly of this
+ State, at their January Session, A.D. 1795, for raising a Sum
+ of Money to defray the Expences of Finishing, in a durable
+ Manner, a Street at the North End of this Town.
+
+ This being the great Continental Thoroughfare and Post Road,
+ and much frequented at all Seasons by Persons on Foot and
+ Horse-Back, and by Teams and Carriages, merits the greatest
+ Attention to its Improvement from Town and Country.
+
+ The old Road was crooked and inconvenient, the new Street is
+ Streight, and secured in such a Manner as to be passed in
+ Carriages at all Times with Ease and Safety.
+
+ The Utility and Necessity of this work, so obvious to every
+ one, and the great Chance to Adventurers, there being only
+ _about Two_ Blanks to a Prize, induce the Managers to rely on
+ the Patronage of the Public, for a rapid Sale of the Tickets.
+
+ 5340 Tickets, at TWO DOLLARS each, are 10,680 Dollars, to be
+ paid in the following Prizes, subject to no Deduction.

+
+ _A New Dispensary!_
+
+ NUMEROUS are the instances that can be cited of a less, a
+ much less, sum than _Twenty Thousand Dollars_ having restored
+ to their pristine vigor precarious circumstances, and of
+ making the _poor become rich!_ Let stubborn prejudices be
+ laid aside, and an immediate resort made to that GRAND
+ ANTIPOVERTY CORRECTIVE, CASH, which is now proffered as a
+ sovereign remedy for all the complaints that poverty is heir
+ to:--in asserting the superior efficacy of this preventive of
+ the evils attendant on a state of poverty, it is not intended
+ to trespass on truth--let it be fairly tried, when the
+ 'majesty of its own worth' will be manifest. The door is now
+ open for the reception of such as would like to try the
+ experiment:--There is _Hatfield Bridge Lottery,_ which
+ commences drawing the 15th of next month; this affords a
+ _potion_ of EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS; if, after a fair trial
+ here, the desired effect is not produced, then there is the
+ _Harvard College Lottery,_ which commences in May, which has
+ the highly _balsamic cordial_ of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS,
+ which will produce the most wonderful effects, by giving a
+ _solid tone_ to the regions of the pocket, and by enriching
+ and invigorating the whole system, as can be satisfactorily
+ tested:--Twenty Thousand Dollars would
+
+ "Cheer the heart, and make the spirits flow!"
+
+ Perseverance is highly recommended, and if the wishes are not
+ gratified by the attainment of the desired object, the
+ consoling reflection will recur, that--"_there are not quite
+ two blanks to a prize_"--which is more than can be said of
+ quackery in general. Tickets and Quarters for sale by
+ John Russell.

+The Boston "Herald of Freedom," in December, 1789, advocates a lottery
+for that town for the benefit of the poor, among other things, and to
+supply the town with lamps to light occasionally for the "safety of the
+citizens," etc.
+
+ A citizen would wish to know why among the many lotteries now
+ in being, there is not one for the benefit of this town? Can
+ it be said we have no need of any?--Sure there are many uses
+ the net proceeds of a lottery may be converted to, for this
+ town's benefit: Though he means not to dictate, yet would
+ suggest the following;--that a granary might thereby be
+ opened, and the poor supplied with different kinds of grain,
+ at a reduced price;--that several parts of the town might be
+ paved; which would serve to employ many of the industrious
+ poor among us;--and that the town might be supplied with
+ Lamps, which by being occasionally lighted would tend to the
+ safety of the citizens. From these, among other beneficial
+ effects, he hopes the town will have a meeting, and petition
+ the General Assembly at their approaching session for leave
+ to establish a lottery for the above, and other, useful
+ purposes.

+The "Union Canal Lottery" was got up in 1814 to benefit Boston and "make
+it advance like New York." Here is a notice of the scheme from a Salem
+paper,--
+
+ _Union Canal Lottery._
+
+ First Class.--Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars.
+
+ It rarely happens that the object of a Lottery is interesting
+ to the whole community. To save the _Metropolis of
+ New-England_ from declining in its commerce and consequence
+ on the return of a general peace--to open its internal
+ resources, to unite New-Hampshire & Vermont to Massachusetts,
+ by bonds of mutual benefit, as permanent as the rivers and
+ canals, by which their intercourse will be carried on--to
+ make Boston advance like New York, supported by a populous,
+ extensive and productive back country, are _considerations_
+ into which every reflecting man, every merchant, and every
+ owner of real estate, must enter and must feel. It is
+ therefore, confidently expected, that a Lottery, granted to
+ complete the great undertaking of opening Inland Navigation,
+ will receive peculiar support; and that _many_ who have not
+ been in the habit of adventuring in Lotteries, will be
+ willing and desirous of contributing to the success of this
+ for the sake of _its object._
+
+ The Highest Prize will be paid in ninety days after the
+ drawing shall be completed; and all other Prizes in sixty
+ days, and payment will be made in bills generally current in
+ Boston. Prizes must be demanded in one year from the end of
+ the drawing of the Class.
+
+ This Class will commence drawing in Boston, on the 12th
+ December next.
+
+ Tickets to be returned on or before the 2d December.

+After lotteries had been drawn, notices frequently appeared in the
+papers announcing the names of the lucky prize-winners. For instance, a
+Boston paper of 1790 says: "The highest Prize (Ł3,000) in the New York
+Lottery was drawn by 2 deserving Servant girls of New York;" and in
+Sept. 21, 1793: "The highest prize in the 4th Class of the State
+Lottery ($1,000) was drawn by Mr. Benjamin Blodgett, of this town;" and
+the "Salem Gazette" of 1815 says: "Luther Martin, Esq., has drawn
+$15,000, the Highest prize in the Baltimore Hospital Lottery;" and it
+adds: "Those who envy the good Fortune of Mr. Martin will call on
+Cushing & Appleton for Tickets in the Harvard College Lottery." In
+November, 1790, the "Salem Gazette" says that the call for tickets in
+the Massachusetts Semi-annual Lottery "has been so great in the other
+States that the Managers expect to draw much sooner than the time which
+was at first mentioned;" also that the tickets in the Marblehead Lottery
+are meeting with a rapid sale; and concludes that "this does not
+indicate a scarcity of Cash."

+ GALVANISM.
+
+ It has been found by Dr. NAUCHE, at Paris, that a person
+ perfectly blind may be made to see very lively and numerous
+ flashes of light, by bringing one extremity of the voltaic
+ pile into communication with the hand or foot, and the other
+ with the face, skin of the head, or even the neck. In like
+ manner, a person in the gloom of poverty may be made to
+ perceive very lively and numerous flashes (say 20,000) of
+ good fortune by bringing one extremity of a ragged bank bill
+ into communication with the Book-Store and the other with
+ the Lottery-Office, one door west of Central Building.
+
+ N.B.--Two grand piles are now offered to the public--Harvard
+ College, where the process is now in active operation, and
+ Plymouth Beach which is in a state of preparation.

+
+ _R. Island College Lottery._
+
+ THE Corporation of the College, wishing to discharge in the
+ best manner the trusts reposed in them for the education of
+ youth, and finding their funds inadequate to this purpose,
+ have obtained of the General Assembly of the state of
+ _Rhode-Island_ and _Providence Plantations_ the grant of a
+ Lottery. As the sole object of this is the public good, it is
+ hoped that the exertions of the Corporation will meet the
+ wishes and secure the co-operation of all the friends of
+ science and virtue. The College was founded entirely by the
+ generosity of individuals. Though it has received no
+ patronage from the legislative body, yet through the
+ assiduous labours of its officers it has become considerably
+ distinguished, &, it is hoped, has merited the attention of
+ the public. It, however, is under great disadvantages for
+ want of larger pecuniary resources. Of the necessity of these
+ for the establishment of a complete system of liberal
+ education, every one must be sensible who entertains a just
+ conception of the vast extent of science.--Those who are
+ disposed to promote the Lottery now brought forward, may be
+ assured that the whole business will be transacted with the
+ utmost exactitude and fidelity. Of this they cannot doubt,
+ when they are informed that the management of it is wholly
+ under the direction of the following respectable Committee,
+ appointed by the Corporation, viz. JOHN BROWN, Esq. WELCOME
+ ARNOLD, Esq. Mr. JOHN MASON, Col. WILLIAM RUSSELL, and Mr.
+ JOHN P. IVES.

+Major Benjamin Russell, in the "Boston Columbian Centinel," March 26,
+1791, says:
+
+ The _National_ and _State Legislatures_ being in recess,
+ there is a "plentiful scarcity" of domestick occurrences, at
+ this time.--This is locally remedied by the Lottery, which
+ seems to arrest the attention of all ranks of citizens.--To
+ describe the symptoms of the _disease_ is impossible--all are
+ fascinated--all expect to be the favoured children of
+ Fortune.--The rich court her smiles, as eagerly as the
+ poor--and whilst, O! fickle Goddess, the _Young_ pour forth
+ their supplications for thy favours,
+
+ "_With falt'ring pace, and feeble knee,
+ See_ Age _advance, in shameless haste;
+ The palsied hand is stretch'd to thee,
+ For_ Wealth, _it wants the pow'r to taste._"
+
+ The delusion is general--and general must the mortification
+ be. But as attention must be paid to the infatuation--we have
+ endeavoured, by a regular publication of the fortunate
+ numbers, to alleviate its frenzy.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+On March 29, 1814, Messrs. Bridge and Renouf, the well-known brokers, of
+79 State Street, Boston, gave notice that a prize of $500--No.
+3,394--"had" been "drawn in the Plymouth Beach Lottery." This number had
+been "sold by them to several young Gentlemen who purchased 30 Tickets;"
+and they also announced that the drawing was "suspended until the next
+Tuesday, when the first drawn ticket will be the highest prize, _Twenty
+thousand Dollars;_" and besides this, that "there are remaining to be
+drawn four prizes of $1,000 each, and four prizes of $500 each."
+
+It should be noticed that there was, even in its most flourishing days,
+a difference of opinion among individuals in regard to the morality of
+the lottery, as men must differ on all subjects; so that it is perhaps
+only fair to cite a specimen or two of the communications which appeared
+in the papers in reference thereto. A writer in the "Salem Gazette,"
+June 29, 1790, says:--
+
+ _OF LOTTERIES._
+
+ Lotteries have of late been a very productive source of
+ revenue in this State.--The moral tendency of them has been
+ supposed by some to be injurious to society; and government
+ have been careful to grant them for such purposes only, as
+ that the probable benefit should outweigh the evil. By this
+ means we have seen the interests of literature supported--the
+ arts encouraged--the wastes of war repaired--inundations
+ prevented--the burthen of taxes lessened, &c. Manufactures
+ might also in this way be established. Those which will not
+ support themselves, it is true, will not benefit the
+ community; but there are very important ones, which in their
+ infancy require the nursing hand of government--to such the
+ produce of lotteries might be beneficially applied. There
+ exists a spirit of adventure in all societies, which will
+ lead a number to throw themselves into the hands of Chance in
+ one way or another, & which, under the direction of a wise
+ Legislature, may be made to subserve their best interests.
+ The monies raised by lotteries cannot impoverish the
+ community--as they are not sent abroad, but only taken out of
+ one pocket and put into another.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+There is also in the same paper, of Feb. 25, 1794, another communication,
+in which the writer apparently takes an entirely opposite view, and
+quotes a letter of Joel Barlow to the National Convention of France, in
+which will be found some rather strong language. When one considers the
+place where these views appear to have been adopted, and recollects the
+horrible scenes of the French Revolution, which were even then being
+enacted, one wonders whether the French authorities valued human life as
+much as they did property.
+
+ ON PUBLIC LOTTERIES.
+
+ MR. CUSHING,
+
+ AS our Legislature have lately had under consideration a
+ bill, for granting a Lottery to Harvard College, I beg you
+ will publish what our countryman, Mr. BARLOW, said on the
+ subject of Public Lotteries, in his Letter to the National
+ Convention of France. It is as follows:
+
+ "SINCE I am treating of morals, the great object of all
+ political instructions, I cannot avoid bestowing some remarks
+ on the subject of PUBLIC LOTTERIES. It is a shocking disgrace
+ of modern governments, that they are driven to this pitiful
+ piece of knavery, to draw money from the people. But no
+ circumstance of this kind is so extraordinary as that this
+ policy should be continued in France, since the revolution;
+ and that a state lottery should still be reckoned among the
+ permanent sources of revenue. It has its origin in deception;
+ and depends for its support, on _raising and disappointing
+ the hopes of individuals_--on perpetually agitating the mind
+ with _unreasonable desires of gain_--on clouding the
+ understanding with superstitious ideas of _chance,_ _destiny_
+ and _fate_--on diverting the attention from regular industry,
+ and promoting a _universal spirit of gambling,_ which carries
+ all sorts of vices into all classes of people. Whatever way
+ we look into human affairs, we shall ever find that the bad
+ organization of society is the cause of more disorders than
+ could possibly arise from the natural temper of the heart.
+ And what shall we say of a government that avowedly steps
+ forward, with the insolence of an open enemy, and creates a
+ new vice, for the sake of loading it with a tax? What right
+ has such a government to punish our follies? And who can look
+ without disgust on the impious figure it makes, in holding
+ the scourge in one hand, and the temptation in the other? You
+ cannot hesitate to declare, in your constitution, THAT ALL
+ LOTTERIES SHALL BE FOREVER ABOLISHED."
+
+ In November last, the Convention, in conformity with the
+ foregoing sentiments, passed the following decree:
+
+ "Lotteries, of whatever nature they may be, or under whatever
+ denomination they may exist, are suppressed."
+
+ * * * * *
+
+In 1791 the Massachusetts Legislature granted to the proprietors of the
+Cotton Manufactory in Beverly four hundred tickets in the lottery about
+to be drawn, and three hundred in the next Semi-annual State Lottery.
+"Some people, out-doors," says the "Salem Gazette," March 8, 1791,
+"murmur at this as an ill-judged act of liberality; but perhaps they are
+not acquainted with the arguments which induced the grant. The
+disposition of Government to foster our infant manufactures is
+certainly laudable." This is unquestionably good reasoning; for, granted
+the premises that lotteries are ever beneficial, then there was no
+reason why aid should not in this way be extended to business
+enterprises which were to give employment to the people, as well as to
+schools and colleges. Employment must be provided as well as education.
+The Beverly Cotton Manufactory, Stone, in his History of Beverly, claims
+to be the first manufactory of its kind established in America, that at
+Pawtucket having been the second; and he also states that it was visited
+by General Washington on his tour through the country in 1789. The
+leading proprietors in this enterprise were George and Andrew Cabot,
+Israel Thorndike and Henry Higginson, men of the highest reputation in
+New England for integrity and honor.
+
+ From the "Salem Gazette," Dec. 25, 1812:
+
+ _The Historical Dictionary,_
+
+ By EZRA SAMPSON, author of the Beauties of the Bible, is one
+ of the most useful little works of this nature which we have
+ seen. It contains _much in a small compass._ Its subjects are
+ Natural and Civil History, Geography, Zoology, Botany and
+ Mineralogy, arranged in alphabetical order, and explained in
+ such a neat and intelligible manner, as to render it worthy
+ of being (according to its design) a _Companion for Youth._
+ We select the following article as a specimen of the work.
+
+
+ LOTTERY,
+
+ A kind of public game at hazard, in order to raise money for
+ the service of the state. A lottery consists of several
+ numbers of blanks and prizes, which are drawn out of wheels,
+ one of which contains the numbers of the tickets, and the
+ other the corresponding blanks and prizes. Besides the
+ consideration that this, as well as all other kinds of
+ gambling for money, tends to corrupt the public morals, it is
+ also to be considered that the purchasers of the tickets are
+ never permitted to play the game on fair and equal ground.
+ The world neither ever saw, nor ever will see, a perfectly
+ fair lottery; or one in which the whole gain compensated the
+ whole loss; because the undertaker could make nothing by it.
+ In lotteries the tickets are really not worth the price which
+ is paid by the original purchasers, and yet they often sell
+ in the market at a considerable advance: the vain hope of
+ gaining some of the great prizes is the cause of this demand.
+ In order to have a better chance for some of the large
+ prizes, some people purchase several tickets, and others
+ small shares in a still greater number. There is not,
+ however, a more certain proposition in mathematics, than that
+ the more tickets you adventure upon, the more likely you are
+ to be a loser. Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery
+ and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your
+ tickets, the nearer you approach to this certainty.
+
+ The above is surely a just account of the nature and
+ principles of a Lottery; yet it does not destroy the fact,
+ that, distributed as the tickets always are among thousands,
+ there must be some gainers, and that, in spite of
+ mathematics, there is a lucky number, which must draw the
+ capital prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery (without any
+ deduction) of 12000 dollars. Both the _Historical Dictionary_
+ and Lottery _Tickets_ may be had at Cushing & Appleton's old
+ stand, one door west of Central Building;--where BANK BILLS
+ are exchanged.

+Some remarks in reference to supplying Bibles in the eastern part of
+Massachusetts by means of a lottery.
+
+ MR. RUSSELL,
+
+ A FRIEND to religion, and one who wishes the memorial of a
+ certain respectable society may have a happy effect, but a
+ zealous enemy to lotteries, asked a member of an important
+ body, the other day, whether he thought the General Court
+ would grant a Lottery for the purpose of supplying every
+ person in the eastern part of the Commonwealth with a bible,
+ who is unable to purchase one, and for the pay of a
+ missionary.--Let not the serious reader frown, as that member
+ did; for if there is nothing contained in that sacred book
+ which can be thought opposed to this method of gambling,
+ neither the one nor the other can give a substantial reason
+ why, in the present rage for lotteries, the people should not
+ be indulged in raising money in the way most agreeable to
+ their humour.

+ _MRS. CLARK AFLOAT._
+
+ In the Ship Ann Maria arrived at New-Haven the following wax
+ passengers, viz. King George III, _Bonaparte,_ Washington,
+ _Jefferson,_ Hamilton, _Burr,_ Hillhouse, _Madison,_
+ Pickering, _Giles_ and _Mrs. Mary Ann Clark._ The
+ Custom-House officers made prisoners of all these passengers
+ for violating the Non-Importation Act, but being proved that
+ they were of East-Haven manufacture and unconscious of crime,
+ we are happy to hear they have been all liberated. King
+ George III. was taken in such bad company as is a sufficient
+ proof that he is _crazy._ Napoleon undoubtedly rejoiced when
+ he beheld the faithful execution in our waters, of his
+ continental system. Washington and Hamilton were glad that
+ they were in their graves, before their country had been
+ plunged so deeply in disgrace. Had not Pickering and
+ Hillhouse been indeed made of _wax,_ they would have thrown
+ Bonaparte and Jefferson overboard and given them the freedom
+ of the Seas. If the custom-house officers had kept possession
+ of Poor Madison, they could never have obtained much money
+ for him, as he now is a sorry _figure,_ since he has been
+ scalped and tomahawked by Smith. Burr, the democratic
+ vice-president and traitor, who has now gone home to France,
+ ought to be exhibited for the instruction of the People, in
+ every village. Giles must have been liable to have been
+ York-_sheared_ by Mrs. Clark, who, on a July day, when the
+ weather was at blood heat, must have been in a _melting_ mood
+ and susceptible of impressions. But he is an advocate of
+ Non-Intercourse. The officers of the Revenue, notwithstanding
+ they were in such a _taking_ fit, and had conceived such vain
+ & high blown hope of the immense wealth they should receive
+ as the ransom of their Captives, have not half so good a
+ chance of a _prize_ as those adventurers who will call at
+ Cushing and Appleton's, one door west of central Building,
+ and purchase a Ticket or quarter in Harvard College Lottery

+ whom I called. I was quickly informed that the family was
+ invited to a wedding at a neighboring house, and on being
+ requested, I changed my clothes and went with them. As soon
+ as the young couple were married, the company was seated, and
+ a profound silence ensued--(the man of the house was
+ religious.) A young Lawyer then arose, and addressed the
+ company very handsomely, and in finishing his discourse
+ begged leave to offer a new scheme of matrimony, which he
+ believed and hoped would be beneficial. And obtaining leave
+ he proposed:
+
+ That one man in the company should be selected as president;
+ that this president should be duly sworn to keep entirely
+ secret all the communications that should be forwarded to him
+ in his official department that night: and each unmarried
+ gentleman and lady should write his or her name on a piece of
+ paper, and under it place the person's name whom they wished
+ to marry; then hand it to the president for inspection, and
+ if any gentleman and lady had reciprocally chosen each other,
+ the president was to inform each of the result; and those who
+ had not been reciprocal in their choices, should have their
+ choice kept entirely secret.
+
+ After the appointment of the president, the communications
+ were accordingly handed up to the chair, and it was found
+ that twelve young gentlemen and ladies had made reciprocal
+ choices; but whom they had chosen remained a secret to all
+ but themselves and the president.--The conversation changed
+ and the company respectively retired.
+
+ Now hear the conclusion. I was passing through the same place
+ on the 14th of March following, and was informed that eleven
+ of the twelve matches had been solemnized, and that the young
+ gentlemen of eight couples of the eleven had declared that
+ their diffidence was so great that they certainly should not
+ have addressed their respective wives, if the above scheme
+ had not been introduced.----> Gentlemen under 20 and ladies
+ under 15 were excluded as unmarriageable.
+
+ You will be pleased to let the public hear of this scheme,
+ and I hope it will be productive of much good, by being
+ practised in Virginia.
+
+ _A Married Man without Children._
+
+The weak spot in this plan, we imagine, would be the difficulty in
+keeping the _blanks_ entirely secret.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+We have not undertaken to give an account of all the lotteries of which
+we have seen advertisements, as our limits would not admit of it, even
+if it could be made interesting to those who like to read about such
+matters; New England alone would fill a large volume. We will name only
+a few of the more prominent lotteries,--the Land Bank, in 1759; the
+Pavement on Boston Neck, the same year. Then there was the Charlestown
+lottery, the Hatfield Bridge, Sudbury, the Amoskeag Canal, the South
+Hadley Canal, the Philanthropic, the Kennebec, the Dartmouth College,
+the Gloucester Road, the Plymouth Beach, etc. All these, of course,
+were public lotteries, and were managed by the first men in the
+community. In relation to private lotteries it would now be difficult to
+ascertain the facts. There must have been a great number of these;
+probably they were not always honestly conducted. We have heard that
+there were shops where the inexperienced were supplied with bogus
+tickets,--blanks of some drawn lottery. Bad men, unfortunately, are to
+be found in all kinds of business; but we know that in Salem all the men
+whose names we have mentioned were among the very best in the community.
+
+Although laws are now in force in Massachusetts and some other States
+against lotteries, there appears to be no essential difference, as far
+as the morality of the thing is concerned, between the old lottery and
+the modern raffle,--and indeed a certain species of stock gambling, it
+seems to us, is worse than either in its moral effects. After the year
+1826, or thereabout, lotteries appear to have become unpopular, and laws
+were passed prohibiting them. Their unprofitableness, moreover, seems
+then to have been more clearly seen. As we have already said, there had
+always been some who saw the evils which must result from such schemes.
+Notably among prominent men who in Massachusetts used their influence
+against them were John Hancock,[1] of Revolutionary fame, and afterwards
+governor of the Commonwealth, and Peter C. Brooks, a distinguished
+merchant of Boston, father-in-law of Edward Everett. The "Salem Gazette"
+of Sept. 16, 1794, says: "Considering the acknowledged immoral tendency
+of _Lotteries,_ it is astonishing how much is said in the Boston papers
+in favor of that which our Legislature has lately instituted for Harvard
+College. Our late worthy Governor Hancock, in a public address to the
+General Court, gave his testimony against this species of gambling, so
+calculated to ensnare and injure those classes of worthy citizens who
+are guiltless of that vice in its common form."
+
+[Footnote 1: Although we have seen lottery tickets signed by Hancock
+earlier in life.]
+
+In some foreign countries and in a few of the States of our Union
+lotteries are still lawful; yet we believe there is a growing feeling
+against them. But if stock gambling is destined to take the place of the
+lottery, we do not think much will be gained by the change. The losses
+by lotteries were generally in small sums, and could be better borne by
+the adventurers than the entire loss of property, health, and reputation
+which is now too apt to follow a large proportion of the speculative
+stock operations. In the lottery, too, the risks were generally so small
+that the ticket-buyer alone suffered; whereas now, whole families are
+often involved in financial ruin, if not in disgrace, by the operations
+of a father, brother, or near relative. But we will say no more on this
+point, as it is a consideration foreign to the object of this book.
+
+Thus far we have written mainly of American lotteries; as it is not our
+intention to take an exhaustive view of the subject, we will merely say,
+in reference to foreign countries, that lotteries were instituted in
+England in 1567, and abolished by Act of Parliament in 1823, although
+allowed until 1826, when the last drawing of a legal lottery took place.
+During this period they were patronized by all classes,--royalty, the
+nobility, gentry, and commoners. The first lottery was for the repairs
+of harbors and fortifications. The drawing took place at the "west door
+of St. Paul's Church." In 1612 King James I. granted a lottery for the
+"English Colonies in Virginia, ... to be held at the _west end of St.
+Paul's,_" and "one Thomas Sharplys, a tailor, drew the chief Prize,
+which was 4000 crowns in fair plate."
+
+To this day the lottery flourishes in most of the chief cities in
+Europe, and lottery tickets are vended in many shops as well as in
+regular offices. The Cologne Cathedral, as is well known, was only
+recently finished by the aid of a lottery. Lotteries are upheld, we
+believe, by the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, and many of the priests
+aid in disposing of the tickets,--at least so we have been told.
+
+The sum of the whole matter as regards this country is that a good work
+was undoubtedly accomplished through the agency of the lottery in the
+early days of our national history. By its aid schools, colleges, and
+charities were founded, bridges, roads, and canals were constructed. In
+our time public opinion is, of course, as it ought to be, against
+gambling in any form; but although our ways are almost always thought to
+be more honest, it is a question, after all, whether we are really more
+upright than our fathers, who sometimes engaged in transactions that are
+condemned by modern society, but who, on the other hand, knew nothing of
+"defaulted" railroad bonds, of "wild cat" oil companies, or of "watered"
+mining stocks. It is easy enough to
+
+ "Compound for sins [we] are inclined to,
+ By damning those [we] have no mind to."

+SPRING OF 1886.
+
+The prices named below are subject to revision on publication.
+
+
+_THE STORY OF MARGARET KENT._ By HENRY HAYES. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+A new and thrilling novel of literary life in New York, written with
+masterly skill. One of the most exacting of reviewers says that it will
+"convince and touch thoughtful and sensitive readers"; and another, a
+well-known novelist and poet, says: "The plot and situations are
+original and natural. It is out of the common run, and sparkles with
+life--real life--and deep feeling."
+
+
+_AMERICAN WHIST._ By G.W.P. 1 vol. 16mo. Sixth Edition, Revised. $1.00.
+
+A new and fully revised and much-enlarged edition of this foremost
+classic, best teacher, and wisest companion as to the most enjoyable
+game of cards. After running through several successful editions during
+the past five years, this invaluable book is now to be brought out
+improved in many ways, and will be indispensable to all who play Whist.
+
+
+_CLEOPATRA._ By HENRY GRÉVILLE. Original Copyright Edition, with new
+Portrait. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.25.
+
+"Cleopatra" is a brilliant new novel by the author of "Dosia" and
+"Dosia's Daughter," who is acknowledged as foremost among the European
+novelists of to-day. The remarkable success that has attended Henry
+Gréville's previous works, foreshadows the popular demand for
+"Cleopatra," her latest (and in many respects, her best) novel.
+
+
+_EVERY-DAY RELIGION._ By REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE, D.D., Author of
+"Self-Culture," "The Ideas of Paul," &c., &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+An admirable group of terse, strong, and practical discourses on the
+religion of the home, the office, the work-shop, and the field. It tells
+how, amid the cares and annoyances of this workaday world, one may grow
+towards a noble and peaceful life. It will be an invaluable companion,
+an indispensable "guide, philosopher, and friend." The eminent success
+of JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE in works of this high class is shown by the
+great popularity of his "Self-Culture," which is now in its eleventh
+edition.
+
+
+_EDGE-TOOLS OF SPEECH._ By MATURIN M. BALLOU, Author of "A Treasury of
+Thought," "Due South," &c., &c. 1 vol. 8vo. $3.50.
+
+A great new work, in which are preserved the choicest expressions and
+opinions of the great thinkers and writers of all ages, from Confucius to
+Ruskin. These pungent apothegms and brilliant memorabilia are all
+carefully classified by topics; so that the choicest work of many years
+of patient labor in the libraries of America and Europe is condensed into
+perfect form and made readily available. It will be indispensable to all
+writers and speakers, and should be in every library.--_Traveller._
+
+
+_LIGHT ON THE HIDDEN WAY._ With an Introduction by JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE.
+1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.
+
+A remarkable and thrilling romance of immortality, illustrating by an
+account of personal experiences the relations between the seen and the
+unseen. All readers of the literature of the supernatural in books like
+"The Little Pilgrim," &c., will be profoundly interested in this strange
+record of the nearness of the spiritual and material worlds.
+
+_TWO COLLEGE GIRLS._ By HELEN DAWES BROWN. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+One of the most important of forthcoming books. It is a capital study of
+girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most
+piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and
+social criteria of the three cities. It is suited alike to old and
+young, being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple
+and vivid, and full of sustaining interest. Nothing has been published
+since "Little Women" that will so strike the popular taste.
+
+_INDIAN SUMMER._ By W.D. HOWELLS, Author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham,"
+&c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet
+humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the
+contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells
+has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a
+Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American
+sort."--_The Nation._
+
+_THE PRELATE._ By ISAAC HENDERSON. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The
+situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic
+of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.
+
+_CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS._ By CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT.
+Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol. Large 12mo., with many full page
+illustrations. $2.50.
+
+This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book
+of Legendary Art,"--of which seventeen large editions have been
+exhausted. The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols
+by which men's minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the
+mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The
+"Stories of the Saints" will be illustrated by numerous full page
+engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of
+Christian Art--prominence being given to scenes from the life of the
+Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and
+notable Saints of the Religious Orders.
+
+_JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY._ By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE, Author of "The Led
+Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to
+be compared with our best women novelists. To make this comparison
+briefly, Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly,
+and Mrs. Foote feels intensely."--_The Critic._
+
+_MONOGRAPHS OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE._
+
+No. II. THE HARTFORD CAPITOL. R.M. Upjohn, Architect.
+
+No. III. AMES MEMORIAL BUILDINGS, NORTH EASTON. H.H. Richardson,
+Architect.
+
+Gelatine Plates (from nature), 13 × 16. Each in portfolio. $5.00.
+
+The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing
+for artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted
+for the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building
+of the Connecticut State Capitol. This possesses perhaps even a higher
+interest than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public
+building, and not an appendage of an institution.
+
+_The American Architect_ says: "The execution of the work is all that
+could be asked. It would be hard to offer a more encouraging example of
+the kind of work to be expected in this series."
+
+_A STROLL WITH KEATS._ By FRANCES CLIFFORD BROWN. 1 vol. Illustrated.
+Square 16mo. $1.50.
+
+One of the choicest gems of art in illustration, consisting of
+illuminated pages, in beautiful designs, illustrating some of the finest
+verses of the great English poet.
+
+_NEXT DOOR._ By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, Author of "Dearly Bought," "A Sane
+Lunatic," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+One of the brightest, prettiest, and most charming tales yet offered to
+the public. The scene is in Boston, the time the present, the plot
+exciting, the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and
+skilful.
+
+_POETS AND PROBLEMS._ By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Author of "Emerson; His
+Life, Writings and Philosophy." 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.
+
+Mr. Cooke brings to his work the most inexhaustible and painstaking
+patience, the most thorough devotion to the labor he has undertaken, and
+the deepest mental sympathy with his subjects. His present work embraces
+Tennyson, Ruskin, and Browning.
+
+_THE SPHINX'S CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S._ By ROSE TERRY COOKE, Author
+of "Somebody's Neighbors," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+This volume of short stories, reprinted from the author's contributions
+to the "_Atlantic,_" "_Harper's,_" "_The Galaxy,_" &c., will be found
+like "Somebody's Neighbors," to show "that profound insight into Puritan
+character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs.
+Cooke has but one equal, and no superior. These exquisite chronicles are
+full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is
+attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous
+and spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic
+skill."
+
+_THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE._ The Lectures at the Concord School of
+Philosophy for 1885. Edited by F.B. SANBORN and W.T. HARRIS. 1 vol.
+12mo. With 2 portraits. $2.00.
+
+A work of exceptional interest, containing fifteen of the lectures
+concerning Goethe which were read at the Concord School of Philosophy
+last summer. Prof. Hewett furnishes an account of the newly-discovered
+Goethe manuscripts for the introduction to the volume. Among the writers
+are Drs. Bartol and Hedge, Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Sherman of
+Chicago, Mr. Soldan of St. Louis, Mr. Snider of Cincinnati, Mr.
+Partridge of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Davidson of New Jersey, Prof. White of
+Ithaca, N.Y., and Messrs. Emery, Harris, and Sanborn of Concord, the
+last named the editor.--_Traveller._
+
+_THE OLDEN-TIME SERIES._ 16mo. Per vol., 50 cents.
+
+There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for
+quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this,
+Mr. Henry M. 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 will 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:--"Curiosities of the Old Lottery," "Days of the Spinning
+Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious Punishments," "Quaint and Curious
+Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities," "New-England Sunday," etc.
+
+_THE IMPERIAL ISLAND--ENGLAND'S CHRONICLE IN STONE._ By JAMES F.
+HUNNEWELL. 1 vol. 8vo. Richly illustrated. $3.50.
+
+This admirable and impressive work is a companion to the same author's
+well-known "Historical Monuments of France," and contains a vivid record
+of the life of Merrie England, as exemplified by her august castles and
+palaces, abbeys and cathedrals.

+nature, some of which have won the highest possible commendation from
+Stedman and other eminent critics. The author has for many years been
+connected with the editorial staff of "The Springfield Republican."
+
+_THE LOST NAME._ By MRS. MADELEINE VINTON DAHLGREN, author of "A
+Washington Winter," "South-sea Sketches," etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
+
+The remarkable success of Mrs. Dahlgren's previous portrayals of society
+make it certain that her forthcoming work will be full of life and

+
+THE
+
+=AMERICAN ARCHITECT=
+
+_AND BUILDING NEWS._
+
+An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Architecture and the Building Trades.
+
+Each number is accompanied by six fine quarto illustrations, while
+illustrative cuts are liberally used in the text. Although the paper
+addresses itself primarily to architects and builders, by its
+discussions upon matters of interest common to those engaged in building
+pursuits, it is the object of the editors to make it acceptable and
+necessary to that large portion of the educated classes who are
+interested in and appreciate the importance of good architectural
+surroundings, to civil and sanitary engineers, draughtsmen, antiquaries,
+craftsmen of all kinds, and all intelligent readers.
+
+As an indication of the feeling with which this journal is regarded by
+the profession, we quote the following extract from a report of a
+committee of the American Institute of Architects upon "American
+Architectural Journals":--
+
+ "At Boston, Mass., is issued the AMERICAN ARCHITECT AND
+ BUILDING NEWS, a weekly of the first class, and, it must be
+ acknowledged, the only journal in this country that can
+ compare favorably with the great London architectural
+ publications. It is very liberally illustrated with full-page
+ lithographic impressions of the latest designs of our most
+ noted architects, and with occasional views of celebrated
+ European buildings. Once a month a fine gelatine print is
+ issued in a special edition. Its editorial department is
+ conducted in a scholarly, courteous, and, at the same time,
+ independent tone, and its selections made with excellent
+ judgment. It is the accepted exemplar of American
+ architectural practice, and is found in the office of almost
+ every architect in the Union."--_April 15, 1885._
+
+=Subscription Prices. (In Advance.)=
+
+REGULAR EDITION.--$6.00 per year; $3.50 per half year.

+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See

+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. 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 http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. 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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+ http://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.
