Abstract
- The article examines the history of policy, a gambling game in which players bet on certain numbers to be drawn in a legal lottery. It discusses the popularity of the game in the U.S. during the 19th century. Particular attention is given to how investigations into the game brought attention to oneironmancy, or divination through dreams, a logic of chance that cited dream books.
