Excerpt from The Laws of Short WhistSome years ago I suggested to the late Hon. George Anson (one of the most accomplished Whist Players of hie day), that as the supremacy of Short Whist was an acknowledged fact, a revision and reformation of Hoyle's' Rules would confer a been on Whist Players generally, and on those especially to whom disputes and doubtful points were censtantly referred. Oin' Views coincided, but'the project was, for the following reason, abandoned - 4fully aware that a more diffuse Code of Laws, sanctioned by authority. Of the leading Clubs, was an absolute necessity, still more conscibus were we that in persuading the Whist world to adopt any innovation on old rules, we must incur a certain amount of difficulty and trouble, with a very uncertain chance of success.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
