Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume I (of II) By Andrew Steinmetz Chevaliers d'industrie, or polite and accomplished sharpers, have always existed in every city, from the earliest times to the present. The ordinary progress of these interesting gentlemen is as follows. Their debut is often difficult, and many of them are stopped short in their career. They only succeed by means of great exertion and severe trials; but they endure everything in order to be tolerated or permitted to exercise their calling. To secure credit they ally themselves with men of respectability, or those who pass for such. When they have no titles they fabricate them; and few persons dispute their claims. They are found useful for the pleasures of society, the expenses of which they often pay-at the cost of the dupes they make in the world. The income of chevaliers d'industrie is at first derived from those inexperienced persons whom they get in their clutches by means of every kind of enticement, in order to ruin them some day-if they have any 'expectations' or are likely to be rich; or in order to make accomplices of them if they have only aptitudes for the purpose. After having led them from error to error, after suggesting to them all sorts of wants and vices, they make them gamble, if they are of age; they hold up play to them as an inexhaustible source of wealth. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gaming Table, Vol. 1 of 2: Its Votaries and Victims, in All Times and Countries, Especially in England and in France N o doubt gambling, in the sense treated of in this book, has ceased in England. If there be here and there a Roulette or Rouge et Nair table in Operation, its existence is now known only to a few sworn-brethren if gambling at cards prevails in certain quarters, it is kept quiet.' The vice is not barefaced. It slinks and skulks away into corners and holes, like a poisoned rat. Therefore, public morality has triumphed, or, to use the card-phrase, trumped' over this dreadful abuse; and the law has done its duty, or has reason to expect congratulation for its success, in putting down gaming houses.

The 'protector' next hands over his 'young friends to executioners, ' who fleece them for the common benefit of the confederates. They do not always wait for the coming of age of their young dupes in order to strike the grand stroke.' When they find that the father of a family shud ders at the idea of a public scandal, they immolate their victim at once - for fear lest he should escape from their hands. Of course they are always Open to capitulate - to come to terms and if the aid of the law is invoked they give in discreetly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gaming Table, Vol. 1 of 2: Its Votaries and Victims, in All Times and Countries, Especially in England and in France To the readers of the present generation much of this hook will, doubtless, seem incredible. Still it is a hook of facts - a section of our social history, which is, I think, worth writing, and deserving of meditation. Forty or fifty years ago - that is, within, the memory of many a living man - gambling was 'the rage' in England, especially in the metropolis. Streets now meaningless and dull - such as Oxendon Street, and streets and squares now inhabited by the most respectable in the land - for instance, St James's Square, then opened doors to countless votaries of the fickle and capricious goddess of Fortune; in the rooms of which many a nobleman, many a gentleman, many an officer of the Army and Navy, clergymen, tradesmen, clerks, and apprentices, were 'cleaned out' - ruined, and driven to self-murder, or to crimes that led to the gallows. 'I have myself,' says a writer of the time, 'seen hanging in chains a man whom a short time before I saw at a Hazard table!' History, as it is commonly written, does not sufficiently take cognizance of the social pursuits and practices that sap the vitality of a nation; and yet these are the leading influences in its destiny - making it what it is and will be, at least through many generations, by example and the inexorable laws that preside over what is called 'hereditary transmission.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaming Table: Its Votaries and Victims Volume II (of II) By Andrew Steinmetz In issuing this volume of my Mathematical Puzzles, of which some have appeared in periodicals and others are given here for the first time, I must acknowledge the encouragement that I have received from many unknown correspondents, at home and abroad, who have expressed a desire to have the problems in a collected form, with some of the solutions given at greater length than is possible in magazines and newspapers. Though I have included a few old puzzles that have interested the world for generations, where I felt that there was something new to be said about them, the problems are in the main original. It is true that some of these have become widely known through the press, and it is possible that the reader may be glad to know their source.
