player recognises and seeks to follow, though its law is but imperfectly un derstood. Most valuable help will be given by Dr. POLE's little book to those who wish in reality "to play their partner's hand as well as their own."'-DAILY TELEGRAPH, June 6, 1870. 'A very interesting and useful essay on the theory of the game. The author prides himself, and we think with justice, on being the first to draw from a single principle the whole theory of the game. There is nothing throughout his argument in which we do not concur, and we strongly advise all whist players to read it with attention. We cannot do better than recommend this little treatise.'-DAILY NEWS. 'Never since Mrs. Battle's famous "Opinions" have we seen a more attractive little book on the great subject of whist than the volume now before us..... With only a very moderate liking for what is really the best game of cards still in vogue, the reader easily gains an amount of very interesting information, conveyed in a pleasantly colloquial manner, that is like the remarks of a skilful friend at your elbow during the progress of a trial game. It will open up the science of the game to those who have previously played hap-hazard, or have failed to appreciate the science that may be included even in a domestic amusement.'-ILLUSTRATED TIMES, Sept. 17, 1870. "This little work is a praiseworthy attempt to make whist simpler and easier by showing that the rules of the best modern play are not mere arbitrary conventions, but depend on certain definite logical principles, easily understood and as easily remembered. The author states that the system here laid down, although it corresponds accurately with the best club play, is yet specially adapted for domestic circles, and in particular for teaching the game to the young, who, when they learn in this way, find it easy and attractive. We can vouch for the truth of this statement, and cordially recommend Dr. POLE's little work to all families who encourage and practise this noble game.'-GRAPHIC, July 16, 1870. 'A capital little treatise.'-JOHN BULL, May 21, 1870. 'The writers on whist have been legion; most of them contain valuable hints, yet hardly one is sufficiently exhaustive to be regarded as of standard authority. Dr. POLE's Theory of Whist, however, meets more of the requirements for a complete treatise than any other writer we are acquainted with. It contains all that was accepted by the scientific players of the olden time, and all that modern skill has more recently imported into the game. Dr. POLE has done well in bringing into proper prominence what he terms the "fundamental theory of the game' ; this he has done in language simple, clear, and concise. The Theory of Whist in its compendious form will become a favourite with learners and proficients, both classes of whom may assuredly gain instruction and benefit.'-BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, July 9, 1870. 'The appearance of this work in a separate form is fully justified by the favour it has met with from lovers of the game. We have but little reason for dilating at any length on the nature or excellences of the work; but we can truly say that we have re-read it, not only with pleasure, but we hope with profit. We gladly recommend this new edition of Dr. POLE's work to our readers, but few of whom, no matter how well they play the game, we feel convinced will regret having studied it, whilst the majority will return to it again and again for counsel and advice.'-ERA, May 29, 1870.
