PREFACE
TO THE REVISED EDITION OF 1909
The articles on Whist and Bridge have been rewritten and brought thoroughly
up-to-date. Those on Billiards, Pool, and Snooker Pool have been completely
revised, and all the recent changes in Rules have been either incorporated
or quoted. Entirely new chapters have been added on Auction Bridge, Five
Hundred, Quinto, and Poker Patience.
For the articles specially written for this New Edition on Roulette and
Trente et Quarante, the able pen of Captain Browning is responsible.
