Excerpt from The Laws and Principles of Whist Stated and Explained, and Its Practice Illustrated on an Original System by Means of Hands Played Completely Through

The Author is firmly convinced that American Leads are founded on true principles of whist play, and they therefore have his hearty approval. But he hesitates to insist upon these leads in the body of the Princi ples, as they have not yet met with universal and, perhaps, hardly with general acceptance.
