This book was released on 2018-01-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface. There is a charm and solace about Solitaire which is beginning to be more generally and deservedly appreciated. It affords an attractive pastime and a grateful relief when overtaxed by too assiduous application to business or study; it serves to fill up idle hours, and to soothe the unrest of the unfortunate victim of insomnia. It offers advantages that are conspicuously wanting in all other card games: -- No need for waiting for one or more companions to make up a game, but you take out a pack or two of cards from the drawer and begin the game just when the desire to do so presents itself, -- you are all there; and no opposing player to thwart your best intentions and ruin your well-planned endeavors with every card you play, -you have it all your own way. Apart from this, the various games of Patience call for all the watchfulness and ingenuity that can be claimed for social card games, and they awaken an almost absorbing interest in the desire to succeed, without the wearying influence of the excitement resulting from the competitive desire to win. To many of the leading minds of the past and present, Solitaire has for years been a source of relaxation and amusement; and the fact that Patience is played in solitary moments, and not in the social circle, has doubtless served to prevent its becoming more generally known and practiced, while social games, on the contrary, from their very publicity soon become spread abroad in every community. To aid in disseminating and popularizing this interesting branch of amusement, this little work has been prepared with the greatest care and with a special view to perspicuity of description and detail; a number of the games have been arranged and adapted from Lady Adelaide Cadogan's elegant English work on Solitaire, with the addition of numerous games of American origin; and the completeness and accuracy of the work have been greatly enhanced by the kindness and co-operation of some of the most expert devotees of Solitaire. It is an especially difficult task to succeed in describing a game so as to make it clear and practical to the average reader; but an earnest and hopefully successful attempt has been made to overcome these natural difficulties by avoiding wordiness; by strict and invariable observance of technical terms, each of which is clearly defined at the start; and by illustrating the progress of each game by appropriate Tableaux. A careful examination of the specific signification of the technical terms used in this work, given on page 7, will greatly aid in elucidating the description of the games; it being understood that all such arbitrary meanings as are assigned to terms technically employed are strictly adhered to wherever they occur.
