Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Foster's Common Sense in Whist
The literature Of whist, up to the present time, is an accumulation Of individual theo ries, advanced by different authors at various periods, and most Of these theories are simply guesses at the truth, without any attempt to demonstrate their foundation in fact.
The author believes that the time is ripe for a book which shall deal with facts instead Of theories, and which, instead Of laying down certain rules to be blindly followed, although they may fit only about one hand in ten, will show that every hand is a problem in itself, the solution to which must depend on the player's knowledge Of probabilities and the exercise Of his common sense, not on his be lief ih any particular theory.
