Some scattered foxing due to the quality of the paper, all in all a good, genuine copy.Rare first edition, dedicated by the author to John Acton (1736-1811), commander of the navy of the Kingdom of Naples, of this work dealing with gambling from every possible angle: mathematical, statistical, ethical, economical, legal, psychological, and social.In 1790, at the age of twenty-five, Francesco Bernardino Cicala published in Naples the Saggio filosofico e critico sulli giuochi di azzardo, echoing in its title another work on the same subject by P.R. Montmort (Essai d'analyses sure les jeux de hazard, Paris, 1708). The treatise is not a mere examination of mathematical operations, but a series of insights on gambling interpreted in the context of human action and from a historical perspective. The author does not hide his personal involvement, having personally known the gambling tables. His personal experience acquires, however, through introspective analyses a public dimension. Indeed, the self-inquiry broadens to include groups, social classes and the entire nation. Gambling is investigated not only as an individual issue, but also in its collective dimension. The spreading of gambling is seen as a political problem to be dealt with through the critical lenses of the rationalist culture of the Enlightenment.The Saggio consists of two sections, each comprising eight chapters: Human Sensibility, The Passion for the Game, Moral Effects, Consequences, Vicious Habits, Address to the Beautiful Sex, Time, its Use and Abuse, Physical Effects, Origins, Subject of Disputes, Matter of Calculation, Political Aims, Theory of Justice, Legislation, Law of Proscription, Linguet examined.In addition to the usual classical and Christian authors, quotations from French, German and English thinkers are particularly numerous in the work: J. De la Bruyère, F. de la Rochefoucauld, H. Grotius, Cl.-A. Helvetius, S. Pufendorf, Ch.-L. Montesquieu, D. Diderot, F.-M. Voltaire, J.J. Rousseau, P.L. Maupertuis, É. Condillac, J. Locke, and W. Balckstone. Significant are also the references to Italian Enlightenment philosophers like A. Genovesi, G. Filangieri and C. Beccaria, remembered for his article on gambling published in the journal ?Il Caffè?.In describing the physical effects of gambling, Cicala achieves a remarkable effectiveness by using with confidence his medical knowledge of the functioning of the human organism. Ethical-philosophical reflections, on the other hand, intersect with mathematical theories and the calculus of probability. Cicala is well aware of the latest scientific-mathematical achievements in this field, and quotes Montmort, Bernoulli and Moivre.Cicala also does not forget the role of women in gambling, providing an in-depth analysis of individual male and female behaviors. For Cicala gambling concerns both sexes, but he feels the need to directly addresses the female audience traditionally excluded from the debate of ideas. Concluding his analysis, Cicala also assesses the positive and recreational aspects of gambling if practiced in moderation, considering gambling as permissible when it creates healthy conditions of recreation and sociability that are positive both for the individual and the community (cf. E. Filieri, Francesco Bernardino Cicala 1765-1815, tra passione e ragione: il gioco d'azzardo nella pubblica armonia, in: ?Il Canone e la Biblioteca, costruzioni e decostruzioni della tradizione letteraria italiana?, A.
