Games and Gamesters of the Restoration (1930) reprints two vastly different books The Compleat Gamester (1674) and Lives of the Gamesters (1714) that together give a comprehensive and representative view of gamesters and gambling in the latter half of the seventeenth century - a time that saw an explosion in such pursuits following the end of Cromwell's rule.

Charles Cotton

Charles Cotton was an English poet and writer, best known for his collaboration with Izaak Walton on "The Compleat Angler." His work reflected a deep love of nature and the outdoors, and his lyrical style captured the beauty of the English countryside. Cotton's contributions to literature include helping popularize fly fishing in England.
