Add to basketA 2pp statement, sl. torn in left margin. GL 73(?) Not recorded in ESTC. The anonymous author attacks the unlicensed lottery offices of Shergold & Co. and Margray who sold "chances" rather than legal shares. He refers to the prosecution of a morning paper, probably The World for January 29, 1791 in Michaelmas 1791 and Lord Kenyon's judgment of 15th November declaring misleading advertisements illegal. This success will cause the price of genuine tickets to rise to at least 18 guineas.
