About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Insomnia Collection Vol. 007 by Various. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Soporific dullness is in the ear of the listener, and what's tedium incarnate to one person will be another person's passion and delight. However, it is hoped that at least one from the range of topics here presented will lull the busy mind to a state of sweet sleep. Introduction by Cori Samuel. The introduction in Excerpt from "A Genealogical-Historical Visitation of Andover, Mass., in the Year 1863" is taken from HERE.
