Excerpt from The Bridge Book: Practical Talks About the Bridge
The game of Bridge has, like other things in the world, been marching with the times; the methods of yesterday are, in many respects, not quite the methods of to-day.
It is only a few short years since Bridge appear ed as a stranger in England, and, though we Opened our arms and welcomed the newcomer, it remained nevertheless a stranger for very, very long. We knew little of its science; we needed time for its evolution. Things, however, have be gun to shape themselves at last; fallacies, which passed unchallenged before, have now been detect ed; the possibilities of the no-trump declaration and of the judicious use of the double are appreciated and understood; the advantages result ing from defensive play are admitted; the principle of opening a long suit in preference to a short one is accepted, and so on. In fact, we may now fairly say that the game is in order.
