Rowena Dudley

‘ … useful to historians of late eighteenth-century Ireland who are concerned with fiscal matters and those interested in the popularity and operation of officially-sanctioned gambling', David Fleming, Irish Literary Supplement.

'This is an exceptionally well researched, clearly written, engaging and highly informative book on a subject that has the potential to provide still further insights into the commercial and consumer worlds of late eighteenth-century Ireland', Dr James Kelly, Irish Economic and Social History (2007).

‘There is much of interest in this commendable exploration of the Irish state lottery. The author has laid the foundations for further analysis and engagement with the subject at a variety of levels. It is to be hoped that other researchers will be inspired to take up the challenge as well’, Charles Ivar McGrath, Eighteenth-Century Ireland (2006).
