Excerpt from A Bibliography of Works in English on Playing Cards and Gaming

In periodical literature, I have endeavoured to discriminate between the two classes of publications which we usually speak of as magazines and as news papers. It is obviously impracticable to treat of the latter; of the former class I have not found many articles on gaming, etc., recorded in the various indexes to periodical literature, and I have had to rely almost entirely on my own collection.

I hope that the index will be useful to any inquirer on the bibliography of any one game, or branch of gaming.

Any corrections or additions that may tend to the improvement of this book will be gratefully received, as also any suggestions likely to prove useful in the compilation of a similar bibliography of French books on Gaming which I have in contemplation.
