Excerpt from Lecture Before the Boston Young Men's Society: On the Subject of Lotteries, Delivered March 12, 1833 We might continue the history of lotteries up to the time they were prohibited in England, but the narrative would be a work of supererogation, and perhaps, prove uninteresting. It is sufficient to say, that scarcely since the days of Queen Ann, and the assembling of the first British Parliament, has that government passed over a single year without granting lotte ries to raise enormous sums, averaging something like a million pounds sterling per annum.
