Excerpt from The Bridge Book: Practical Talks About the Bridge The game of Bridge has, like other things in the world, been marching with the times; the methods of yesterday are, in many respects, not quite the methods of to-day. It is only a few short years since Bridge appear ed as a stranger in England, and, though we Opened our arms and welcomed the newcomer, it remained nevertheless a stranger for very, very long. We knew little of its science; we needed time for its evolution. Things, however, have be gun to shape themselves at last; fallacies, which passed unchallenged before, have now been detect ed; the possibilities of the no-trump declaration and of the judicious use of the double are appreciated and understood; the advantages result ing from defensive play are admitted; the principle of opening a long suit in preference to a short one is accepted, and so on. In fact, we may now fairly say that the game is in order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
