Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Amusement for Invalids
These here presented have been taken from the French, and have never before been published in this country. They have been well tested, and may, I hope, he found not unworthy to be placed beside Mrs. Cheney's delightful book of Patience, a book which should be found upon every invalid's table.
When a little group of friends gather round an invalid's chair, some general game, in which all can take part, gives zest to the hour, and drives away the chill too often felt in such a room; and here Buried Cities which simply means the name of some city buried in a sentence comes in as an inexhaustible source of amusement, for the brighter the originator the keener the zest of their solution.
