About this book
Card tables, dice and wagers fill Ralph Nevill's 1909 book, which gathers anecdotes of high play in England and France. The chapters follow London houses and clubs such as Crockford's, White's and Brooks's, the Act of 1845, and figures including Casanova, Charles James Fox, Beau Nash, Brummell and Colonel Mellish. The book also turns to the racing turf. The volume was published by Macmillan, with a frontispiece after an old print by Darcis.
