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.
