Add to basket2 parts in 1 volume. Very rare first edition of a description of the most popular card games played in the Netherlands in the first quarter of the 19th century, published in two parts. The first part includes descriptions of the card games vijfhonderden (or: smousjassen), klaverjassen (klaberjass), schutjassen, pandoeren, jassen… met den driehoek, zwikken, huffelen, wisselspel and others. The second part includes the famous whist as well as ombre (three versions), quadrille and piket and others. Edmund Hoyle had published his famous first game book (on Whist) in 1742 and his first collected edition of various games in 1748, translated into Dutch in 1790. While both parts of the present book note that they provide standardized rules as the games are most often played "in this country" (the present Netherlands and Belgium were united as a single kingdom from 1815 to 1830), the introduction to part one explicitly describes the games themselves as those most often played in this country, while the second part covers the four games that appeared in Hoyle's book. Spine cracked, front hinge nearly-cracked, wrappers a little worn and soiled, but otherwise a rare work in good condition.l Picarta (2 copies); cf. WorldCat (1828 and later editions). Original publisher's grey printed wrappers over thin boards. Pages: [2], IV, 90; [2], 94, [2] pp.

Add to basket9pp, 12mo. On twi bifoliums and a single leaf, only the first of the bifoliums carrying the letterhead. In good condition, on aged paper. Folded once and in an envelope with 'Whist for 2. | Rules by Miss Stanton.' on cover. The letterhead has the feel of the 1920s, but the handwriting is Victorian, and presumably that of an old…spinster. The first bifolium carries a separate set of instructions over four pages, headed 'Whist for two', and concluding: 'Hope you can read it excuse blots for I cant see what I have written'. The second bifolium carries another set of instructions, over three pages, with no heading, beginning: 'The dealer deals 11 cards to each person face downwards and then asks his adversary to name the trump the cards already dealt being placed on the table in this way'. This second section concludes: 'It is a good game for two person [sic] and is best played with 2 packs of cards each person keeping his own pack -'. The single leaf carries a two page set of instructions headed 'How to play the game of Mrs. Allport'. This begins: 'Having cut the cards the lowest deals - and the other party names the trump'.

A good copy of the first English edition of this scarce anonymous manual, translated from the French, on the card game of quadrille. This was a variation (for four players) of ombre, a game which 'suited the genius of Ladies'. 'It will not be unnecessary to acquaint the Reader, that the following game of Quadrille has been about two years, and is at present, the favourite game at the French court [It] is more amusing and entertaining than [.] any other Game on the Cards [.]'. Ombre was most fashionable in eighteenth-century England and France, and famously played by Belinda in Pope's 'The Rape of the Lock' and also a favourite pastime of the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice. This manual was intended for beginners and provides instructions on the cards that should be used (usually 40), how to mark and pay, and play with or without calling a king. It also discusses quadrille by three and five, and the 'incidents' that may occur during a game (e.g., if one of the players should speak, which is forbidden). (ESTC T116490).
