Excerpt from Speculation and Gambling: In Options, Futures and Stocks in Illinois This book is published with the hope and expectation that it will be of service to lawyers in the preparation and trial of cases in which the validity or invalidity of transactions in grain "futures" and stocks are in question. There are many references in the index - which is placed in the front of the book - not to be found elsewhere therein. The Illinois laws against gambling, the Illinois cases and a great number of annotations and references to legal periodicals, are in the appendix. These are, of course, for the use of lawyers and Courts. My investigations of the subject have covered a long period of time, but this book has been dictated and printed in a very short time, from my notes and from a collection of books purchased during the past few years. To go into the subject fully would require much time and the publication of a very large volume, so I prefer to give to the profession a reference book at small cost, and covering the subject from many standpoints. It is not my expectation that it will do more, so far as the public is concerned, than somewhat lessen the number of people who are committing financial suicide through the evils of speculation in commodities and corporate stocks, many of whom do not know that they are gambling and think they are trading on the Board of Trade when they are not It is only the members of the Board of Trade who do the trading on the Board or in the pit. Outsiders are not allowed to trade. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
