It has its Wandering Jew, its Country’s Wonder, its escapades in courtship, its triumphs in politics, and its stories of pioneering and of country-wide travel. It shows how the family’s money built churches and schools; how ministers, doctors, lawyers, and teachers were ornaments to their professions; how statesmen, by efficiency and integrity, enjoyed repeated elections; and how men “with the hoe,” the trowel, the saw, and other implements of their craft, by diligence, enterprise, and sobriety, reared happy homes and garnered wealth. AN INSPIRATION The book is an inspiration. Squire H—— wrote, “I read a chapter in the Perley History every day,” meaning to say that every chapter has its peculiar interest, pleasure, and uplifting sentiment. Mrs. W—— bought six copies, Mrs. H—— four, both saying, “I want each of my children to have a copy.” Other buyers have done relatively the same. A SPLENDID GIFT Take a copy with you to “the old folks at home” at Thanksgiving; it would gratify them. Give one to your daughter at “sweet sixteen,” and to your son at twenty-one. It would be a magnificent present for a dear friend. Your Public Library would write you a letter of cordial thanks for a copy. As a NEW YEAR’S, a BIRTHDAY, a WEDDING, or a CHRISTMAS gift, it would crown the occasion with proud delight. The books are in patent corrugated wrappers, and can be ready for the mail in five minutes after receiving your order.

PERLEY’S CHRONOLOGICAL CHART FOR (1) VERIFYING, (2) CORRECTING, AND (3) INTERPRETING DATES, THUS: (1) Gen. Geo. Washington was born on Friday, Feb. 11, 1731-2. (2) A transit of Venus occurred, in 1639, on Sunday, Dec. 6 (almanac); Dec. 4 (astronomy); Nov. 24 (another astronomy). (3) Bryan, the 175th monarch of Ireland died Good Friday, 1714. Durham Cathedral, England, was struck by lightning, “The night before the day of Corpus Christi, 1429.” Thomas Ryhale dated his will, “Vigil of Easter, 1427.” The Chart is adapted to the styles: Julian, Russian, Dionysian, Gregorian, Old and New. With a little primary arithmetic it furnishes the date of Easter for any year. It gives the day of the week corresponding to any possible date in 4,000 years, beginning, Saturday, Jan. 1, A.D. 1. One can easily determine the Friday occurrences of great men and events, and so determine the proportion of unlucky Fridays.
