""Commercial Gambling: The Principal Causes Of Depression In Agriculture And Trade"" is a book written by Charles William Smith in 1893. The book explores the negative impact of commercial gambling on the agriculture and trade industries. Smith argues that the practice of commercial gambling, such as speculation in stocks and commodities, leads to instability in the market and ultimately results in economic depression. The author provides historical examples and statistical data to support his thesis. Smith also offers solutions to address the issue, including regulation and education on the dangers of gambling. The book provides a unique perspective on the relationship between gambling and the economy during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
