"0ld New England Days"
Rev. M. B. Tillotson writes of this
book, by Sophie M. Damon, of Wood
stock, VT:
'"This volume is worthy of extensive
reading, in style, easy and natural;
in sentiment, good and wholesome, it
should have place in all our Sunday
school libraries, and will be read with
pleasure and profit by young and old. To
the older people it will bring back the old
familiar days, and it will show the young
how their gandfathers and grandmothers
used to talk and do and live. It has the
charm of romance and yet it is truthful
history throughout; truthful in all it's de-
tails as those testify who are familiar
with the scenes narrated. Lovers of both
fact and fiction will be pleased with the
sold New England Days" The author
is a much respected member of our
church m Woodstock, and active in its
interests. Read her book"
