A fresh edition of author's 17th-century treatise, with spellings
and explanatory notes. Thomas Gataker was a disputatious Puritan
divine. His The Nature and Uses of Lotteries (1627) was the first
systematic exposition of a modern view of lotteries, not just as a
form of gambling, but as a fair method of division. Gataker
approved of these uses, but condemned divination and sorcery using
random signs or spells. This important treatise is often referred
to, but is generally inaccessible due to its rarity and old-style
of language. The text of this edition has been fully modernised,
with notes on important sources used by Gataker and includes a new
introduction and index
