The game of Whist was a hugely popular card game during the 18th and 19th centuries. Based on trick-taking, the game has relatively simple rules that are widely discussed in this book for the scientific aspects of the game. The book includes a history of the game, directions, popular Whist teams and their pictures and famous teachers of the game. The frontispiece to the books is an illustration by Maxfield Parrish, who was commissioned by many authors for book jackets, frontispieces and illustrations.?

Excerpt from A Handbook of Whist: Designed as a Book of Reference for Those Who Would Perfect Themselves in the Modern Scientific Game of Whist In this handbook, an attempt is made to condense, arrange, and to marshal into a system, all the specifics directions for play that could be found in the works of the acknowledged masters of the game of whist. The object is to present these directions unencumbered by explanation or discussion, in a form convenient for reference. Many topics are omitted, in which a novice would find instruction necessary. To the unscientific player, it may seem a perplexing mass of details, - of doubtful authority, and challenging a most prodigious effort of the memory. But to the genuine student of whist, who has perused such works as those of Pole and Cavendish, and strives to apply their principles in his play, this Handbook of Reference is offered, to show him at a glance, what to do in any given situation, - what to lead, and what to play.
