Excerpt from The Whist Table: A Treasury of Notes on the Royal Game

To vary De Quincey's humorous idea in a famous essay, Whist considered as one of the Fine Arts might be an appropriate title to this volume.

It draws together a great deal of information, at once curious and interesting, on the history of the Game, and the rise and progress of its modern developments.
