Excerpt from The Bridge Manual: An Illustrated Practical Course of Instruction and Complete Guide to the Conventions of the Game
A game the past history of the game he loves is naturally as full of interest as the past history of the woman he loves, but Bridge is such a fascinating little game that I think any man might reasonably be content to take to it for better or for worse, without asking any questions as to where it was born, or what it was doing before he fell in love with it. Suffice it to say that though its past is not beyond reproach, its present is so thoroughly respectable that no Club with any respect for itself will now admit that any other game is ever played in its card-room. The rules of the game will be given in the next chapter.
