The Nature and Uses of Lotteries : A Historical and Theological Treatise PDF
by Thomas Gataker
Part of the Sortition and Public Policy series
Description
Thomas Gataker was a disputatious Puritan divine. His The Nature and Uses of Lotteries (1627) was the first systematic exposition of a modern view of lotteries, not just as a form of gambling, but as a fair method of division.
Gataker approved of these uses, but condemned divination and sorcery using random signs or spells.
This important treatise is often referred to, but is generally inaccessible due to its rarity and old-style of language.
The text of this edition has been fully modernised, with notes on important sources used by Gataker and includes a new introduction.
