Excerpt from The Whist Reference Book: Wherein Information Is Presented Concerning the Noble Game, in All Its Aspects, After the Manner Of; A Cyclopedia, Dictionary, and Digest All Combined in One
The necessity for some method whereby order may be brought out of chaos is obvious; and we believe this can best be accomplished by means of a well-arranged and thoroughly impartial description and review of everything relating to the game. It is not our purpose, therefore, to add to it any new theory or hobby, but rather to so indicate those things which are already in existence that the earnest student may inform himself concerning them, and, by using his individual judg ment, as well as the judgment of others, accept that which is good, and reject that which is of no permanent value.

Excerpt from The Whist Reference Book: Wherein Information Is Presented Concerning the Noble Game, in All Its Aspects, After the Manner Of; A Cyclopedia, Dictionary, and Digest All Combined in One
It becomes my duty and very great preasure to acknowledge, on behalf of the American Whist League, the great compliment paid the League in having dedicated to it your splendid work. I take your kindly act as recognition of the success of the League in purifying and popularizing, as a means of education and as an intel lectual pastime, the noblest of indoor games. Having developed, since the organiza tion of the League, from a mere game into a science, it is to be hoped that Whist, as it is a great discipliner of minds as well as a true test of mental ski11,'may soon be universally recognized as the most popular American game. As an instrument to this end I am sure your work will be welcome?! By every lover of Whist.
