Dick's One Hundred Amusements for Evening Parties, Picnics, and Social Gatherings Published 1873, Fitzgerald Publishing Corporation, New York. Approx 4x6.5in. 150pp. The original front cover page has been lost to time; the rear cover page is just barely hanging on by a thread. But the book itself is still intact after all these years.
