WORKS BY MRS. ALICE MORSE EARLE 



HOME LIFE IN COLONIAL DAYS 



Illustrated by photographs, gathered by the author, of real 

 things, works, and happenings of olden times. 



8vo. Cloth. $2.50 



" The work is mainly and essentially an antiquarian account of the 

 tools, implements, and utensils, as well as the processes of colonial 

 domestic industry; and it is full enough to serve as a moderate 

 encyclopaedia in that kind. . . . This useful and attractive book, with 

 its profuse and interesting pictures, its fair typography, and its quaint 

 binding, imitative of an old-time sampler, should prove a favorite." 



The Dial. 



" Mrs. Earle has made a very careful study of the details of domes- 

 tic life from the earliest days of the settlement of the country. The 

 book is sumptuously illustrated, and every famed article, such as the 

 spinning-wheel, the foot-stone, the brass knocker on the door, and the 

 old-time cider-mill, is here presented to the eye and faithfully pictured 

 in words. The volume is a fascinating one, and the vast army of ad- 

 mirers and students of the olden days will be grateful to the author 

 for gathering together and putting into permanent form so much accu- 

 rate information concerning the homes of our ancestors." Education. 



CHILD LIFE IN COLONIAL DAYS 



With many illustrations from photographs. 



8vo. Cloth. $2.50 



" The whole work presents a complete and graphic picture of colo- 

 nial childhood, that cannot but form a valuable supplementary study 

 for students of American history. At the same time it has much gen- 

 eral interest, for child life of any period is interesting, but the interest 

 is doubled when it concerns the formative influences of American 

 ancestry." New York Times. 



"From the scant records of colonial days Mrs. Earle has been 

 enabled to make up a volume that is full of life and variety, and that 

 gives an insight into the beauty and tenderness of family life even 

 under the austere conditions of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- 

 turies. The portraits of children form a gallery as rare as it is beauti- 

 ful." New York Herald.
