THE SOCIABLE or One Thousand And One Home Amusements by George Arnold

It seems to be that the original cover has been replaced.  The spine seems to be the original, but it has separated from the book.  I could have glued it on but opted not to.

Published by Dick & Fitzgerald Co., 1858.  Hardcover, 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.
