Summary: "The Olden Time Series, Vol. 3: New-England Sunday" by Henry M. Brooks is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the customs and societal norms surrounding the observance of Sunday in New England, drawing primarily from old newspaper articles from Boston and Salem. It appears to highlight the tension between traditional practices and evolving attitudes towards the Sabbath, offering a fascinating glimpse into past cultural values. The opening of the book introduces the context of the observance of Sunday by recounting an incident involving General Washington, who faced scrutiny for riding on a Sunday, and follows with various historical perspectives on Sabbath observance. It includes reflections from old newspapers, covering the strict regulations against Sunday activities and the many debates about the importance of maintaining this day for worship versus engaging in leisure. The text showcases changing attitudes towards the Sabbath over the years and presents a blend of narrative and commentary that sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the topic throughout the volume.
