Excerpt from Short-Suit Whist
It is sincerely hoped that the whist-reading public will receive the following pages in the spirit in which they were written. Merely to add another work to the literature of the game was not the author's purpose in preparing them. Nor was he actuated by any groundless antagonism to established methods as a whole, since the scheme of play recommended is only intended to supplement, and not to supplant. This book is simply the natural outcome of a strong conviction of the theoretical soundness of Short-Suit Whist; the author's faith in short-suit dotcrines having prompted him to reduce the leading principles to a definite system, so that their practical efficacy might be put to the test.
The author found nothing but pleasure in the writing. He will be content if the student derives an equal amount of profit from the reading.
