Excerpt from The Laws of Short Whist Some years ago I suggested to the late Hon. George Anson (one of the most accomplished Whist Players of hie day), that as the supremacy of Short Whist was an acknowledged fact, a revision and reformation of Hoyle's' Rules would confer a been on Whist Players generally, and on those especially to whom disputes and doubtful points were censtantly referred. Oin' Views coincided, but'the project was, for the following reason, abandoned - 4fully aware that a more diffuse Code of Laws, sanctioned by authority. Of the leading Clubs; was an absolute necessity, still more conscibus were we that in persuading the Whist world to adopt any innovation on old rules, we must incur a certain amount of difficulty and trouble, with a very uncertain chance of success.

Excerpt from The Whist-Player: The Laws and Practice of Short-Whist, Explained and Illustrated Presuming to write a treatise on any science, the principles and laws of which have already been explained by numerous able pens, ex poses the writer, and with some degree of justice, to the imputation of great vanity. The fact implies, that the writer, in his own estimation, possesses either a more extensive acquaintance with the subject than former expositors, or a more perspicuous method of imparting his know ledge to others. I cannot plead guilty to the first charge, should such be brought against me; being fully sensible of my own inferiority, and ever ready to express my admiration of superior excellence in others. I may certainly be considered liable to the second charge; as the hope of being able to give a clearer explanation of the rules and maxims of the game than any as yet offered to the whist - playing world has induced me to undertake the present work.

Excerpt from Short Whist: Its Rise, Progress, and Laws; With Observations to Make Any One a Whist Player The flattering reception of this little trea tise (as evinced by a second edition being required within two short months) has in duced the Editor to revise it most carefully. At the suggestion of some of the best players at the first clubs he has added several laws of the game now observed, but which are either omitted or not clearly expressed in the old authority, Hoyle, in order that the major may be a standard and complete re ference at the Whist table; also some pecu liarities of Short Whist, particularly respecting.

Excerpt from Modern Whist: Together With the Laws of Whist The principles of Whist are here embodied under the form of maxims arranged in natural order, so as to render them self explanatory, and in such terms as might be used when a point arises for criticism after the play of a hand, so that beginners will be less bewildered in learning from this than from more diffuse publications, while older players may learn something in a short space of time without a feeling of going to school again.

Excerpt from Whist, and Short Whist The following definition of the game of whist is recommended to the attentive perusal of the reader, previous to his studying the maxims; as nothing will facilitate his comprehension of them so much as a clear idea of the ultimate end to which they all tend. Whist is a game of Calculation, Observation, and Position or Tenace. Calculation teaches you to plan your game, and lead originally to advantage; before a card is played, you suppose the dealer to have an honour and three other trumps; the others each an honour and two others. The least reflection will show, that as it is two to one that your partner has not a named card, to lead on the supposition he has it, is to play against calculation; whereas, the odds being in favour of his having one of two named cards, you are justified in playing accordingly. Calculation is also of use on other occasions, which the maxims will elucidate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Laws of Short Whist Six years have elapsed since "The Laws of Short Whist" were, under the sanction and authority of "Nine" Clubs, introduced to the public: I then ventured to indulge in the hope that other Clubs would follow suit; that hope has been fully realized: the Laws have now been adopted by sixty-one, to whom I beg to return my sincere thanks.
