By John Lilburn Thomas

Book Overview

Lotteries, Frauds And Obscenity In The Mails is a book written by John Lilburn Thomas in 1900. The book discusses the issues of lotteries, frauds, and obscenity in the mail system of the United States during the late 19th century. Thomas argues that these issues were becoming increasingly prevalent and that they were having a negative impact on society. He provides examples of various fraudulent schemes and lotteries that were being conducted through the mail, as well as obscene materials that were being sent through the mail. Thomas also discusses the efforts of the government to combat these issues, including the passage of laws and the creation of agencies to enforce them. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by the mail system in the late 19th century and the efforts made to address them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
