HALLIWELL, J.O. A Manifest Detection of the Most Vyle and Detestable Use of Dice Play. London: The Percy Society, 1850. 8vo. Paper wrappers. Very good. Jessel 1634. SCARCE. Only two examples of the original edition of this work, published in 1552, are known; this, a 19th-century reprint, is scarce in and of itself. The text describes crooked dice and ?Chetours" in the days of Shakespeare, and also mentions cheating at cards, as well as ?sleight" of hand and ?juggling" tricks used for nefarious purposes. Dawes bookplate.
