Excerpt from Scenes of the Olden Time The author has brought together in the following pages notes and anecdotes in reference to he manners and customer of our forefathers, with brief sketches of the different seasons of the year, and historical details of certain memorable Anniversary Days. Thus, the origin and observances of Valentines day, May-day, April Fools day, Midsummer day, Christmas, and Twelfth day are here described; the aspects of the country at different periods are briefly indicated; something is said about the birds and flowers peculiar to each; and comprehensive accounts are furnished of those great national pastimes, archery, hawking, and the tournament. The author has sought to maintain the young readers interest in these subjects by copious quotations and allusions, and the introduction, where suitable, of song and legend.
