Within all of my searches this was the only book I found that was not a series of joke,humorous events, tales, stories or otherwise and a true writing on New England humor.

JSTOR: American Literature

The journal below was also found while browsing the site with the same options available as above.

JSTOR: The American Historical Review: Vol. 100, No. 5 (Dec., 1995), p. 1675
