Reading edition
In addition to the numerous illustrations scattered throughout the text, there are twenty-eight separately inserted old Lottery Bills in facsimile on papers of various tints. It will be noted that the dirty red ink in some of them is exactly imitated.
The “skeleton” bills were issued in 1816, and those of the “14 of June” in 1821; most of the others are dated.
They are placed as follows:—
Facing title page; facing pages 1, 16, 32, 48, 70, 96, 112, 128, 138, 144 (two), 146 (two), 160, 170, 176, 192 (two), 196, 208, 220, 224 (two), 240, 280 (two), 324.
