tastes. HE Game of the Sibyl is composed of the following eighteen subjects. The first division pertains more particularly to the person and affections, the second to the DIRECTIONS FOR THE GAME OF THE SIBYL. THE person who holds the book asks, for instance, Shall I describe your character? The individual questioned selects any one number under that head, say No. 4, on which the questioner reads the answer under No. 4 aloud. FOR A ROUND GAME. It will be well to confine this game to Part First, which is more personal and of more individual interest than Part Second. A reader having been selected, he calls on each individual to choose a number under the question proposed, and reads aloud each answer as the number is mentioned. If the party agree to the arrangement, the author of the Oracle can be demanded by the questioner, and a forfeit paid in case of ignorance, or a premium given for a correct answer. If the person whose Oracle is read cannot tell the author, any one of the party may be allowed a trial in turn, and receive the premium. |
