Per vol., 50 cents.</p> +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> +<p>There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for +quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this, +Mr. Henry M. Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The +materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and +Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be +history, the volumes contain much material for history, so combined and +presented as to be both amusing and instructive. The titles of some of +the volumes indicate their scope and their promise of entertainment:—</p> + +<p> +<span class="smcap"> Curiosities of the Old Lottery</span>.<br /> +<span class="smcap"> Days of the Spinning-Wheel</span>.<br /> +<span class="smcap"> Some Strange and Curious Punishments</span>.<br /> +<span class="smcap"> Quaint and Curious Advertisements</span>.<br /> +<span class="smcap"> Literary Curiosities</span>.<br /> +<span class="smcap"> New-England Sunday</span>, <span class="smcap">etc</span>.<br /> +</p> +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> +<p>"It has been the good fortune of the writer to be allowed a peep at the +manuscript for this series and he can assure the lovers of the historical +and the quaint in literature that something both valuable and pleasant is +in store for them. In the specialties treated of in these books Mr. +Brooks has been for many years a careful collector and student, and it is +gratifying to learn that the material is to be committed to book +form."—<i>Salem Gazette.</i></p> +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> +<p><i>For sale by all Booksellers.

The Faneuil Hall Lottery, the Harvard College Lottery, the Rhode +Island College Lottery, the Massachusetts State Lottery, and lotteries +for a bridge over the River Parker, for Marblehead, for the Williamstown +Free-school, for Episcopal and Congregational Churches, were all +advertised, with numerous other projects. A lottery was proposed for the +purpose of finishing Bunker Hill Monument, although the scheme was not +carried out. It is perhaps not generally remembered that this monument +was at length completed by means furnished by a Ladies' Fair, in 1840, +and handsome +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> +contributions by several individuals. Among other +contributors was the celebrated <i>danseuse</i> Fanny Ellsler, who was at that +time giving performances in Boston. Some of the best men in the community +were interested in recommending the various schemes, and members of +churches, men in high repute, bought and sold the tickets. In Salem, +Mass., such well-known and esteemed citizens as John Jenks, Daniel Jenks, +Thomas C. Cushing, of the "Gazette," John Dabney, the postmaster, Colonel +John Russell, and the now venerable and respected Edward H. Payson—who, +at the age of eighty, is still cashier of the First National (formerly +the Commercial) Bank, to which office he was elected in 1826—sold +tickets; so did Colonel John Hathorne. Colonel Henry Whipple, who is +remembered as one of our best citizens, kept, in connection with his +bookstore, a "Fortunate Lottery Office." Other names might be mentioned, +but we think we have given enough to show the respectability of the +calling. The better the man, the better the agent. Indeed, it was +generally thought to be just as respectable to sell lottery-tickets as to +sell Bibles; and we have seen them +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span> +classed together in the same +advertisement. Our observations have been confined chiefly to Boston and +Salem prints, but we have no doubt that similar matter could be found in +other papers. We propose now to give liberal extracts from some of the +old advertisements of the different schemes, which will, we think, +confirm what we have already said on the subject. Let us take first from +the "Boston Gazette" of May 19, 1760, the lottery to raise $1,000 towards +building a bridge over the River Parker, in Newbury. The managers were +the first men in the place, and the tickets were sold by men of excellent +standing in Boston.</p> + + +<div class="blockquot"> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<a href="images/img014.jpg"> +<img src="images/img014th.jpg" width="400" height="148" alt="Bridge" title="Bridge" /></a> +</div> + +<p class="right">NEWBURY, <i>May 17, 1760.</i></p> + +<p class='center'>SCHEME of a LOTTERY,</p> + +<p>FOR raiſing a Sum of Money for the building and +maintaining a Bridge over the River <i>Parker,</i> in the Town of +<i>Newbury,</i> at the Place called Old Town +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> +Ferry (in purſuance of an Act of the General Court, paſſed in +<i>April</i> 1760) Wherein <i>Daniel Farnham,</i> <i>Caleb Cuſhing,</i> +<i>Joſeph Gerriſh,</i> <i>William Atkins,</i> Eſq., and Mr. +<i>Patrick Tracy,</i> Merchant, (or any Three of them) are +appointed Managers.

On the first of November of that year the following Resolve +was passed,—"That a sum of money be raised by way of lottery, to be +drawn at Philadelphia." A committee was then empowered to manage this +lottery, and agents were appointed in the several States to sell the +tickets. From causes difficult now to explain, the drawing, which was to +have taken place in 1777, was postponed from time to time, until finally, +it is said, the whole scheme proved a failure. Many of the adventurers +being large losers, much bad feeling was produced towards the Government. +The design was to raise the money in the way of a loan. There were four +classes of tickets, a hundred thousand in each,—$10, $20, $30, and $40; +in all $10,000,000. In Lossing's "Field-Book of the Revolution," from +which we derive this account, may be seen a copy of one of these lottery +tickets.

This is unquestionably good reasoning; for, granted the +premises that lotteries are ever beneficial, then there was no reason why +aid should not in this way be extended to business enterprises which were +to give employment to the people, as well as to schools and colleges. +Employment must be provided as well as education. The Beverly Cotton +Manufactory, Stone, in his History of Beverly, claims to be the first +manufactory of its kind established in America, that at Pawtucket having +been the second; and he also states that it was visited by General +Washington on his tour through the country in 1789.

A lottery consists of several +numbers of blanks and prizes, which are drawn out of wheels, +one of which contains the numbers of the tickets, and the +other the corresponding blanks and prizes. Besides the +consideration that this, as well as all other kinds of +gambling for money, tends to corrupt the public morals, it +is also to be considered that the purchasers of the tickets +are never permitted to play the game on fair and equal +ground. The world neither ever saw, nor ever will see, a +perfectly fair lottery; or one in which the whole gain +compensated the whole loss; because the undertaker could +make nothing by it. In lotteries the tickets are really not +worth the price which is paid by the original purchasers, +and yet they often sell in the market at a considerable +advance: the vain hope of gaining some of the great prizes +is the cause of this demand. In order to have a better +chance for some of the large prizes, some people purchase +several tickets, and others small shares in a still greater +number. There is not, however, a more certain proposition in +mathematics, than that the more tickets you adventure upon, +the more likely you are to be a loser. Adventure upon all +the tickets in the lottery and you lose for certain; and the +greater the number of your tickets, the nearer you approach +to this certainty.</p> + +<p>The above is ſurely a juſt account of the nature and +principles of a Lottery; yet it does not deſtroy the +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span> +fact, that, diſtributed as the tickets always are among +thouſands, there muſt be ſome gainers, and that, in +ſpite of mathematics, there is a lucky number, which +muſt draw the capital prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery +(without any deduction) of 12000 dollars.

We will name only a +few of the more prominent lotteries,—the Land Bank, in 1759; the +Pavement on Boston Neck, the same year. Then there was the Charlestown +lottery, the Hatfield Bridge, Sudbury, the Amoskeag Canal, the South +Hadley Canal, the Philanthropic, the Kennebec, the Dartmouth College, the +Gloucester Road, the Plymouth Beach, etc. +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_69" id="Page_69">[Pg 69]</a></span> +All these, of course, were +public lotteries, and were managed by the first men in the community. In +relation to private lotteries it would now be difficult to ascertain the +facts. There must have been a great number of these; probably they were +not always honestly conducted. We have heard that there were shops where +the inexperienced were supplied with bogus tickets,—blanks of some drawn +lottery. Bad men, unfortunately, are to be found in all kinds of +business; but we know that in Salem all the men whose names we have +mentioned were among the very best in the community.</p> + +<p>Although laws are now in force in Massachusetts and some other States +against lotteries, there appears to be no essential difference, as far as +the morality of the thing is concerned, between the old lottery and the +modern raffle,—and indeed a certain species of stock gambling, it seems +to us, is worse than either in its moral effects. After the year 1826, or +thereabout, lotteries appear to have become unpopular, and laws were +passed prohibiting them. Their unprofitableness, moreover, seems then to +have been more clearly seen. As we have already said, there had always +been some +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</a></span> +who saw the evils which must result from such schemes. Notably +among prominent men who in Massachusetts used their influence against +them were John Hancock,<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> of Revolutionary fame, and afterwards governor +of the Commonwealth, and Peter C. Brooks, a distinguished merchant of +Boston, father-in-law of Edward Everett. The "Salem Gazette" of Sept. 16, +1794, says: "Considering the acknowledged immoral tendency of +<i>Lotteries,</i> it is astonishing how much is said in the Boston papers in +favor of that which our Legislature has lately instituted for Harvard +College. Our late worthy Governor Hancock, in a public address to the +General Court, gave his testimony against this species of gambling, so +calculated to ensnare and injure those classes of worthy citizens who are +guiltless of that vice in its common form."</p> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_1_1" id="Footnote_1_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_1"><span class="label">[1]</span></a> Although we have seen lottery tickets signed by Hancock +earlier in life.</p></div> + +<p>In some foreign countries and in a few of the States of our Union +lotteries are still lawful; yet we believe there is a growing feeling +against them. But if stock gambling is destined to take the place of the +lottery, we do +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</a></span> +not think much will be gained by the change. The losses +by lotteries were generally in small sums, and could be better borne by +the adventurers than the entire loss of property, health, and reputation +which is now too apt to follow a large proportion of the speculative +stock operations. In the lottery, too, the risks were generally so small +that the ticket-buyer alone suffered; whereas now, whole families are +often involved in financial ruin, if not in disgrace, by the operations +of a father, brother, or near relative. But we will say no more on this +point, as it is a consideration foreign to the object of this book.</p> + +<p>Thus far we have written mainly of American lotteries; as it is not our +intention to take an exhaustive view of the subject, we will merely say, +in reference to foreign countries, that lotteries were instituted in +England in 1567, and abolished by Act of Parliament in 1823, although +allowed until 1826, when the last drawing of a legal lottery took place. +During this period they were patronized by all classes,—royalty, the +nobility, gentry, and commoners. The first lottery was for the repairs of +harbors and fortifications. The +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span> +drawing took place at the "west door of +St. Paul's Church." In 1612 King James I. granted a lottery for the +"English Colonies in Virginia, ... to be held at the <i>west end of St. +Paul's,</i>" and "one Thomas Sharplys, a tailor, drew the chief Prize, which +was 4000 crowns in fair plate."</p> + +<p>To this day the lottery flourishes in most of the chief cities in Europe, +and lottery tickets are vended in many shops as well as in regular +offices. The Cologne Cathedral, as is well known, was only recently +finished by the aid of a lottery. Lotteries are upheld, we believe, by +the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, and many of the priests aid in +disposing of the tickets,—at least so we have been told.</p> + +<p>The sum of the whole matter as regards this country is that a good work +was undoubtedly accomplished through the agency of the lottery in the +early days of our national history. By its aid schools, colleges, and +charities were founded, bridges, roads, and canals were constructed. In +our time public opinion is, of course, as it ought to be, against +gambling in any form; but although our ways are almost always thought to +be more honest, it is a +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[Pg 73]</a></span> +question, after all, whether we are really more +upright than our fathers, who sometimes engaged in transactions that are +condemned by modern society, but who, on the other hand, knew nothing of +"defaulted" railroad bonds, of "wild cat" oil companies, or of "watered" +mining stocks.

One of the most exacting of reviewers says that it will +"convince and touch thoughtful and sensitive readers"; and another, a +well-known novelist and poet, says: "The plot and situations are original +and natural. It is out of the common run, and sparkles with life—real +life—and deep feeling."</p> + + +<p><i>AMERICAN WHIST.</i> By G.W.P. 1 vol. 16mo.

It tells +how, amid the cares and annoyances of this workaday world, one may grow +towards a noble and peaceful life. It will be an invaluable companion, an +indispensable "guide, philosopher, and friend." The eminent success of +<span class="smcap">James Freeman Clarke</span> in works of this high class is shown by the +great popularity of his "Self-Culture," which is now in its eleventh +edition.</p> + + +<p><i>EDGE-TOOLS OF SPEECH.</i> By <span class="smcap">Maturin M.

It is a capital study of +girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most +piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and +social criteria of the three cities. It is suited alike to old and young, +being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple and +vivid, and full of sustaining interest.

Howells</span>, Author of "The Rise of Silas +Lapham," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.</p> + +<p>"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet +humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the +contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells +has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a +Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American +sort."—<i>The Nation.</i></p> + +<p><i>THE PRELATE.</i> By <span class="smcap">Isaac Henderson</span>. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.</p> + +<p>A story of the American colony and native society in Rome.

Assisted by <span class="smcap">Katherine E. Conway</span>. 1 vol. Large +12mo., with many full page illustrations. $2.50.</p> + +<p>This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book +of Legendary Art,"—of which seventeen large editions have been +exhausted. The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols +by which men's minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the +mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The +"Stories of the Saints" will be illustrated by numerous full page +engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of +Christian Art—prominence being given to scenes from the life of the +Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and +notable Saints of the Religious Orders.</p> + +<p><i>JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY.</i> By <span class="smcap">Mary Hallock Foote</span>, Author of +"The Led Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.</p> + +<p>"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to +be compared with our best women novelists.

This possesses perhaps even a higher +interest than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public +building, and not an appendage of an institution.</p> + +<p><i>The American Architect</i> says: "The execution of the work is all that +could be asked.

These exquisite chronicles are +full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is +attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous and +spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic +skill."</p> + +<p><i>THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE.</i> The Lectures at the Concord School of +Philosophy for 1885.

The +materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and +Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be +history, the volumes will contain much material for history, so combined +and presented as to be both amusing and instructive. The titles of some +of the volumes indicate their scope and their promise of +entertainment:—"Curiosities of the Old Lottery," "Days of the Spinning +Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious Punishments," "Quaint and Curious +Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities," "New-England Sunday," etc. +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Ads_20" id="Ads_20">[Pg 20]</a></span></p> + +<p><i>THE IMPERIAL ISLAND—ENGLAND'S CHRONICLE IN STONE.</i> By <span class="smcap">James F. +Hunnewell</span>. 1 vol. 8vo.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + diff --git a/17970-h/images/coverlot.jpg b/17970-h/images/coverlot.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6ce452e --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/coverlot.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/covlotth.jpg b/17970-h/images/covlotth.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5a73729 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/covlotth.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/crest.jpg b/17970-h/images/crest.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e42ecf8 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/crest.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img010.jpg b/17970-h/images/img010.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a0fbe4c --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img010.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img010th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img010th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c4aa4b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img010th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img011th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img011th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2940923 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img011th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img012.jpg b/17970-h/images/img012.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..83f760f --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img012.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img012th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img012th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0f3b78 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img012th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img014.jpg b/17970-h/images/img014.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8a031f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img014.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img014th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img014th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a2d071d --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img014th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img030.jpg b/17970-h/images/img030.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d3fb991 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img030.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img030th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img030th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9d51a3c --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img030th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img032.jpg b/17970-h/images/img032.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..286005f --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img032.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img032th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img032th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bdbcefe --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img032th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img034.jpg b/17970-h/images/img034.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..70de779 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img034.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img034th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img034th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b257919 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img034th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img051.jpg b/17970-h/images/img051.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0350827 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img051.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img051th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img051th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1483b7e --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img051th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img053.jpg b/17970-h/images/img053.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2fa96b6 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img053.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img053th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img053th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6040bd4 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img053th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img078th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img078th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7e20e63 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img078th.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img080.jpg b/17970-h/images/img080.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..46d7b53 --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img080.jpg diff --git a/17970-h/images/img080th.jpg b/17970-h/images/img080th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..220894a --- /dev/null +++ b/17970-h/images/img080th.jpg |
