The Theory of the Modern Scientific Game of Whist (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Theory of the Modern Scientific Game of Whist
The increasing demand for this little work warrants the belief that the attempt made therein to elevate the character of Whist, and to facilitate its practice in the best form, has not been without success.
It is matter Of notoriety, that a sound knowledge of the principles of the modern scientific game is much more frequently met with, both among club players and in private society, than it was ten or twelve years ago. This result is undoubtedly owing to the rise of a new class Of Whist literature, explaining the game in a more logical and systematic way 5 and the recent extended discussion Of the subject in some of our best critical periodicals is sufficient to show that it has acquired an interest, in a literary and philosophical point of view, which it never had before.
