Riassunto

Excerpt from The Whist Reference Book: Wherein Information Is Presented Concerning the Noble Game, in All Its Aspects, After the Manner Of; A Cyclopedia, Dictionary, and Digest All Combined in One

The necessity for some method whereby order may be brought out of chaos is obvious; and we believe this can best be accomplished by means of a well-arranged and thoroughly impartial description and review of everything relating to the game. It is not our purpose, therefore, to add to it any new theory or hobby, but rather to so indicate those things which are already in existence that the earnest student may inform himself concerning them, and, by using his individual judg ment, as well as the judgment of others, accept that which is good, and reject that which is of no permanent value.
