Four offprints, including presentation copies of "Chinese Games with Dice and Dominoes" and "Chinese Games with Dice", both inscribed "with the compliments of the author." Culin (1858-1929), a founding member of the American Folklore Society, centred his ethnographic research on Chinese-American communities and the cross-cultural study of game-playing. Three papers, all attractively illustrated, examine the methods and meaning of games enjoyed by Chinese labourers in the United States, as well as the clandestine environments in which they play, while the fourth describes the burgeoning secret brotherhoods observed by Culin in cities such as San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia. The four works include: a) "Chinese Games with Dice and Dominoes." Report of the U.S. National Museum for 1893. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, 1895. b) "The Gambling Games of the Chinese in America." Series in Philology Literature and Archaeology, vol. I, no. 4, 1891. c) "Chinese Games with Dice. Read Before the Oriental Club of Philadelphia. March 14, 1889." Philadelphia: 1889. d) [Three articles published as one]: "The Í Hing or 'Patriotic Rising': A Secret Society Among the Chinese in America"; "Chinese Secret Societies in the U.S."; "Customs of the Chinese in America." Report of the Proceedings of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia, 1887-89; Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1890. Also bound in are two other offprints by Culin. They concern archaeology and East Indian fortune-telling. 4 offprints bound in 1, octavo (225 x 147 mm). Together, 14 plates (2 colour); illustrations in text.
