Book excerpt: Excerpt from American or Standard Whist The game OF wrist, as played about a century since, was, in value of count, ten points, to be gained by tricks taken and honors held.

The new game was found to be so lively, and money changed hands with such increased rapid ity, that these gentlemen and their friends, all of them leading members of the clubs of the day, continued to play it. We are not informed how Lord Peterborough personally was pleased with the new game, since, because of the dimidiative process, he might have been more speedily than before deprived of his guineas; but it matters not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “delightful reader’s companion” (The New York Times) to the great nineteenth-century British novels of Austen, Dickens, Trollope, the Brontës, and more, this lively guide clarifies the sometimes bizarre maze of rules and customs that governed life in Victorian England. For anyone who has ever wondered whether a duke outranked an earl, when to yell “Tally Ho!” at a fox hunt, or how one landed in “debtor’s prison,” this book serves as an indispensable historical and literary resource. Author Daniel Pool provides countless intriguing details (did you know that the “plums” in Christmas plum pudding were actually raisins?) on the Church of England, sex, Parliament, dinner parties, country house visiting, and a host of other aspects of nineteenth-century English life—both “upstairs” and “downstairs. An illuminating glossary gives at a glance the meaning and significance of terms ranging from “ague” to “wainscoting,” the specifics of the currency system, and a lively host of other details and curiosities of the day.
