Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gambler: A Story of Chicago Life The moral purpose of this work is the presentation of some of the more salient phases of one of the most dangerous and prevalent vices of the age. To fairly accomplish this end, it has been found essential to touch here and there on the concomitants of gambling. Some of these adjuncts are not of a pleasant character when offered for public inspection; but in their portrayal, such limitations have been provided as to offend as little as possible the sensibilities of the most refined reader. Nothing of this objectionable nature has been written which is not absolutely necessary to enforce the lessons of the book in reference to the curse of gaming. If this work shall so exhibit the hell into which gaming leads, as to prevent here and there some curious youth from journeying thither, it will have served one of the main purposes of the author in its preparation.
