Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Practical Whist It is not unusual to offer an apology for writing a book, more especially when the subject treated on is one which has already been ably written about by other authors. I however offer no apology, because the interest which is deservedly taken in Whist is so great, and so widely spread, that it is difficult to write too much on this game, for anything either new or old (if put into a novel form) must have its attractions. There are at the present time many valuable works on Whist, amongst which the most able are probably: The Laws of Short Whist; Cavendish on Whist; The Theory of Whist; The Correct Card, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
