""A Lecture Before The Boston Young Men's Society, On The Subject Of Lotteries: Delivered March 12, 1833"" is a book written by George William Gordon in 1833. The book is a transcript of a lecture given by Gordon to the Boston Young Men's Society on the topic of lotteries. In the lecture, Gordon discusses the history of lotteries, their impact on society, and the moral and ethical implications of participating in them. He argues that lotteries are a form of gambling that can lead to addiction and financial ruin, and that they are often used to exploit the poor and vulnerable. Gordon also explores the role of government in regulating lotteries and the need for more responsible and ethical practices in the industry. The book provides a fascinating insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the time regarding gambling and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
