This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 Excerpt: ...in the abovementioned order for red suits when not trumps, the Ace of Hearts must be omitted from tho Heart suit. Black Suits When Not Trumps.--King. Queen, Knave, Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten. The order of the cards below the Knave is thus commonly expressed: "The highest in lied aud the lowest iu Black." In the tramp suit, which includes the Ace of Hearts, the rant of the cards is as follows, beginning with the highest: Red Suits Whbn Trumps.--Five, Knave, Ace of Hearts, Aco of Tminps, King, Queen, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Pour, Three, Two.

If the Knave is led, no trump can renege except the Five. Similarly, the Ace of Hearts can renege to any tramp led, except to the tramps superior to it, viz., the Five and the Knave. If the Ace of Hearts is led when Hearts are tramps, the Five and Knave are entitled to renege. If the Ace of Hearts is led when Hearts are not trumps, a player holding no tra...
