Cross-references for Gambling Sleight of Hand, chapter 7

 

Here are my attempts at creating a list of cross-references for Gambling Sleight of Hand, chapter 7. Steve Forte has very kindly given me permission to share this online. I am sure it is far from complete, but I hope some other students and historians may find it useful.

Enjoy,
