UMBRA SUMUS

Which shall use a try’d and traditional System of the Game, both fast and flexible in the Hand of the capable and experienc’d Player to whom this Prospectus is respectfully address’d.

There shall be Advances and Reversals, a World turned ’pon its Head and Strangeness both Wondrous and Awful abroad in the Land.

Yet, through the Diligence of the Proprietor and the gracious Goodwill of the noble Players, Connexion shall be maintained with the Reign of Madam Geneva. Though not in the leading Parts of our present Drama, those Ancients of Days may, by their own Choice, vouchsafe their Successors some modicum of Aid and Advice in their Ventures, upon a reasonable Consideration.

Further Particulars shall be had upon diligent perusal of the Marginalia in due Course.
