Excerpt from Solitaire
In compiling this little book, the endeavor has been to make it as complete as possible, and to comprise most of the best-known forms of an unpretending but very useful game. Many of those included in this collection have been taken from an English book, "Games of Patience," and rewritten; others have been taken from translations of a French book, but these have also been re-written, and illustrations added, so that the solitary learner will find no difficulty in mastering the most intricate of the games.
In the hope that it will solace some weary and lonely hours, and afford a quiet amusement to those sorely in need of one, this little volume is launched upon its way.
