Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ...of " The Laws and Principles of Whist," &c. This guide is intended to furnish in a convenient form a description of this new and popular game, with practical hints for playing it, and also a book of reference for deciding any question or knotty point which may arise in the course of play. No writer is more caleulated to do justice to the subject of this or any other game of cards, chess, or drawing-room amusement, than the clever and indefatigable author who appears under the nom de plume of " Cavendish.' His style is so clear, his reasonings so consistent, his precision so inimitable, his judgment so deep, that any work of his must find a distinguished place in the library and drawing-room of every town and country house. Cavendish," whose works upon whist have gained a world-wide reputation, has introduced a new whist-marker, admirably executed by Messrs. De la Rue. It is one of the most useful, ornamental, and inexpensive articles we have ever seen. It has already found its way to all the principal clubs in London. STATE OP THE ODDS. THE DERBI, (Ron May 20.)
