Excerpt from Arguments Against Some Popular Errors at Whist: With Some Notes on the Game and a Glossary of Whist Terms The history of whist, the theory of whist, the laws of whist, the gist of whist, American leads, all may be easily obtained from the various treatises already existing on the game, and hands suitable to illustrate the principles of the game, and fix them on the memory, are to be found in the text books, notably in "American Whist Illustrated" by G. W. P., "The Laws and Principles of Whist" by Cavendish, and "The Theory of the Modern Scientific Game of Whist" by Pole. It is not, therefore, intended in this book to go fully through such theory, laws, and leads, neither does the author pretend to be producing anything very original (the two, books last above mentioned have been freely borrowed from in compiling this book), but it is hoped that the clearing away of some of the wrongful reasoning, that causes a lot of errors in the game to be "popular, " may be helpful to beginners and others and make less popular "Errors at Whist."
