W. Douglas MacKenzie. The Ethics of Gambling. Phil: Henry Altemus, 1896, 64 pp. *** Written at a time when gambling, drinking, and other “vices” had gained national attention as “those who know best” pursued their agendas for personal gratification and profit. Chapters include – The Need for a Theory of Gambling; The Act of Gambling Described; The Economic Nature of the Act; etc. This particular edition was done in a fancy gift binding, now very hard to find. This book is in my inventory and the images are of this particular item. *** White morocco boards with stamped floral decoration in silver and pink on front cover. Moderate wear and soil, slight chipping at spine ends, short repaired tear at top of spine. Contents clean and complete in good binding. *** 7 inches tall by approx. 4.5 inches.
