The New Dominion Monthly For 1874 Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from New Dominion Monthly: May, 1874 After tea, to ease the mother's mind, I go out to the dining-room, and count over the children. A strong odor of fire-crack ers, oranges, ginger beer, pea-nuts, and torpedoes, pervades the room. I find them all safe, having met with no worse disas ter than small holes burned in faces, hands and best coats, caused by the explosion of fire-crackers. They are very much sun burned and a little cross, which is scarcely to be wondered at when we remember that to every performance in the day's celebra tion, in whatever part of the village it took place, they have been eye-witnesses. The boys want nothing to eat, but are as thirsty as possible. After satisfying their wants, I set out with my friends for the concert, which, judging from the advertisement, promises to be something quite different from the usual run of concerts. In order to secure good seats, and enough of them, we go early; but we are not the first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
