At the spring meeting of the South-Central Society for Eighteenth-Century
Studies, I am offering a session on probability, gambling, and deep play.
Appropriately, the meeting will be held in Shreveport, Louisiana (Feb.
25-28 1999).

I invite the List to submit proposals on mathematics, the appearance of
gambling in literary works, or accounts (moralistic or otherwise) of
ruination caused by gambling. In the interests of fairness, I would also
welcome accounts of gambles that paid off.
