"Travel in Old Times, with Some Account of Stages, Taverns, etc."
"Curiosities of Politics, among the Old Federalists and Republicans."
"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.
