The two principal bibliographies on the subject of gambling and playing cards, those by Jesse1 and by Horr, are republished in the Patterson Smith Reprint Series in Criminology, Law Enforcement and Social Problems for this reason-uite apart from the in- terest which different aspects of the subject hold . for students of the graphic arts, psychology and conjuring, and for historians of manners and of mathematics. There is inevitably some overlap between the two bibliographies. The great majority of entries are, however, unique to one or the other, and both are therefore reprinted here in their entirety. Many decades have passed since the first appear- ances of Jesse1 and Horr. Perhaps some day a com- piler will bring modern bibliographic techniques to the task-enormous with a body of literature so large, diffuse, and ephemeral--of producing a work which will amalgamate the information provided in its pred- ecessors, correct their errors and omissions, and bring vi their chronological scope up to more recent times. Until that heroic compilation is published, scholars can benefit from being able to consult in one volume two works of uncommon scarcity and value. January, 1972. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS IN ENGLISH ON PLAYING CARDS AND GAMING A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS IN ENGLISH ON PLAYING CARDS AND GAMING COMPILED BY FREDERIC JESSEL T-ONGMANS. GREEN. AND CO. PREFACE I HAVE compiled this bibliography in the hope that it may be of some use to those who, like myself, take an interest in books dn gaming. I have described the title of every work, however slight, on cards or gaming that I have been able to discover, and have also included all books which contain allusions, of sufficient importance to be recorded, to those subjects. Among books on Conjuring, I have of course included all books on Tricks with Cards; in addition to these however, the many hundreds of works on Conjuring and Recreations in general all make more or less mention of card tricks. Of these I have described only those which are interesting on account of their antiquity or importance. Those readers who desire fuller details in this branch of literature will find them in the Bibliography of Conjuring by Mr. E. Stanyon. I have included a few plays and works of fiction which depend on gaming for their plots, or which contain scenes which illustrate the mode of playing some particular game. I have examined personally nearly all the books in my list, but of some I have only been able to record the titles which I have found in the bibliographical xii works of Watt, Lowndes, Allibone and Hazlitt, and the English and American Catalogues of Books. For a few titles, mostly American, I am indebted to the works on Card Games of Messrs. Rheinhardt, Horr and Butler, and to the columns of Whist. In periodical literature, I have endeavoured to discriminate between the two classes of publications which we usually speak of as magazines and as news- papers. It is obviously impracticable to treat of the latter ; of the former class I have not found many articles on gaming, etc., recorded in the various indexes to periodical literature, and I have had to rely almost entirely on my own collection. I hope that the index will be useful to any inquirer on the bibliography of any one game, or branch of gaming. Any corrections or additions that may tend to the improvement of this book will be gratefully received, as also any suggestions likely to prove useful in the compilation of a similar bibliography of French books on Gaming which I have in contemplation.

Sdinburyk, WARRENDER LETTERS CORRESPONDENCE OF SIR GEORGE WARRENDER BT. LORD PROVOST OF EDINBURGH, AND MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR THE CITY, WITH RELATIVE PAPERS 1715 Transcribed by MARGUERITE WOOD PH.D., KEEPER OF THE BURGH RECORDS OF EDINBURGH Edited with an Introduction and Notes by WILLIAM KIRK DICKSON LL.D., ADVOCATE EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1935 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Letters printed in this volume are preserved in the archives of the City of Edinburgh. Most of them are either written by or addressed to Sir George Warrender, who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1713 to 1715, and who in 1715 became Member of Parliament for the City. They are all either originals or contemporary copies. They were tied up in a bundle marked ‘ Letters relating to the Rebellion of 1715,’ and they all fall within that year. The most important subject with which they deal is the Jacobite Rising, but they also give us many side- lights on Edinburgh affairs, national politics, and the personages of the time. The Letters have been transcribed by Miss Marguerite Wood, Keeper of the Burgh Records, who recognised their exceptional interest. Miss Wood has placed her transcript at the disposal of the Scottish History Society. The Letters are now printed by permission of the Magistrates and Council, who have also granted permission to reproduce as a frontispiece to the volume the portrait of Sir George Warrender which in 1930 was presented to the City by his descendant, Sir Victor Warrender, Bt., M.P.

    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.
