Book Description
Excerpt from The Evolution of Whist: A Study of the Progressive Changes Which the Game Has Passed Through From Its Origin to the Present Time My dear Jones: In my endeavour to trace out the Evolution of Whist, I have found one name prominently before me in every stage; - that of "Cavendish." It is he who, by his industrious investigations has enlightened us as to the fashioning of its embryonic elements, in the distant and obscure past, while it had only a vague existence. It is he who has pointed out how it flashed upon society at its birth, and for a long period dazzled the intellect and fashion of Europe. It was he who, in its maturity, took the chief part in defining and proclaiming its great powers. And it is he who, largely by his own efforts, has invested its old age with new attractions, and spread them over a new world. "Cavendish" dedicated his work to the most eminent Whist personage then living; I hope you will not think me too presumptuous in doing the same.
