A TREATISE on the GAME of WHIST, by the late Admiral Charles Burney, Author of Voyages and Discoveries in the Pacific, &c. Second Edition. 18mo. boards. Price 2s.
“The kind of play recommended in this Treatise is on the most plain, and what the Author considers the most safe principles. I have limited my endeavours to the most necessary instructions, classing them as much as the subject enabled me, under separate heads, to facilitate their being rightly comprehended and easily remembered. For the greater encouragement of the learner, I have studied brevity; but not in a degree to have prevented my endeavouring more to make the principles of the game, and the rationality of them, intelligible, than to furnish a young player with a set of rules to get by rote, that he might go blindly right.”
