Excerpt from The Bridge Manual: An Illustrated Practical Course of Instruction and Complete Guide to the Conventions of the Game

A game the past history of the game he loves is naturally as full of interest as the past history of the woman he loves, but Bridge is such a fascinating little game that I think any man might reasonably be content to take to it for better or for worse, without asking any questions as to where it was born, or what it was doing before he fell in love with it.

Excerpt from The Bridge Manual: An Illustrated Practical Course of Instruction and Complete Guide to the Conventions of the Game

I have assumed a certain amount of knowledge of the values of the cards - such as might be given by occasional practice in beggar-my-neighbour and Nap. I have tried not to assume any know ledge of the Game of Whist. A generation is rapidly arising, which, though passably proficient in Bridge, is entirely ignorant of Whist - and I trust this book will instruct this generation equally with the generation which, having been brought up on Whist, may endeavour to apply Whist prin ciples to Bridge.

In conclusion, a word of thanks to many friends who have done much to help me in compiling this work - in particular to L. P. S., to whom I am in debted for the whole basis of my meditations on the game. I trust that the present condition of my mind with regard to the Game of Bridge may be considered a credit to his teaching.
