[22-243] The Preface states, in part, “When the first series of sixty-four games was issued, it was supposed to fulfill all the requirements of the most ardent votaries of Solitaire; but it appears to have created a demand for “fresh fields and pastures new,” to satisfy the desire for still greater varieties. To meet this demand, seventy attractive games are here offered to the devotees of Solitaire; and, as none of the games in the first volume have been duplicated in this series, it is hoped that this ample addition to their repertory will meet with their approval and satisfy their most exacting desires.” A beautiful book in Fine condition with an attractive illustrated publisher’s binding.…
