The Providence Journal Library in gilt on cover. Rebound 1948. A record of lotteries in the hundred-year period specified, beginning with building a bridge over the Woboset River at Providence in November, 1744.

Schools, libraries, and organizations such as the Masons raised funds by lottery, while even the legislatures found lotteries more productive than taxation. 123 pp..
