GAMES XIX / “Rules of Boston Whist,” “based on the best players and American and English methods,” “accompanied by a glossary of technical terms used in the game,” followed by “The Rules of the Game of Thirty-One,” by Hippolyte DEMANET, Paris, published by Durand, 1856, 32 pp., in-8 - The author (1821–1892) was a singer and cabaret performer; his works on card games were printed in small runs, which explains why this copy remains in loose sheets, unstapled, with missing page numbers (all pages are present) – the last 3 leaves and the back cover have a tear caused by a red stain (with no loss of text)
