ABSTRACT
The term Gambling implies an incorporation of all that is corrupt and nefarious in principle, seductive in example, and ruinous in effect. It makes irrevocable havoc of family, fame, fortune, morality, social endearment, private worth, and public usefulness, and of every thing else that renders youth lovely, age venerable, or life desirable—of every thing that does honor to the living, or embalms and hallows the memory of the dead.
