    THE SOCIABLE or One Thousand And One Home Amusements
    by George Arnold (though uncredited as far as I can tell)
    Published by
    Dick & Fitzgerald Co.
    , copyright date is a mite smeared but in theory 1858 (I'm unclear if there were later editions)
    . Hardcover, decorative boards with gilt title to cover and spine, 375
    pages
    (plus several ad pages) illustrated with drawings.
    One of the most popular family books ever published. It is a collection of amusements, including parlor theatricals, games of action, games of memory, games requiring wit, ruses, forfeits, puzzles, fireside games for winter evenings, and science, and parlor magic. Filled with over 300 wood engravings which clarify the text and fully explain all the puzzles and other things difficult to describe in writing.
