Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales From the Dramatists, Vol. 2 of 4 [The author of the thrilling domestic tragedy of "The Gamester," one of the strongest lessons against the evils of gambling ever presented, was born in 1712, the son of a dissenting minister of Abingdon. The play is lacking in literary merit, but is constructed with much dramatic skill, and the career of Beverly, the gambler, affords excellent opportunities for stage effect. Moore also wrote two comedies, and an imitation of Gay´s fables that became very popular. He died in 1757.] In London, about two centuries ago, there lived a gentleman named Beverly, who was possessed with such a passion for gaming that he had, through his devotion to cards and dice, wasted an ample fortune, and brought himself to the verge of ruin.
