“Gaming in this sense includes dominoes, conjuring, card-tricks and so forth. Mr. Jessel has described the title of every work he has found, however slight, on cards or gaming; and he has included all books which contain allusions of sufficient importance to be recorded, even works of fiction which depend on gaming for their plots or contain scenes which illustrate the mode of playing some particular game. Periodicals have not been forgotten.... The bibliography is in alphabetical order of the names of authors, but the index at the end enables subjects to be searched for without difficulty.”—Acad.

Jevons, William Stanley. Principles of economics: a fragment of a treatise on the industrial mechanism of society and other papers. [*]$3.25. Macmillan.
“The fragment in a mere outline, but it comes from a master hand and is doubly welcome at a time when the need for restatement of definitions is particularly evident.”—Acad.
“The volume is one that we cordially welcome, and it is bound to meet with the high appreciation of a discriminating public.”
