Dick's Games of Patience (Classic Reprint)

The compiler of thisS econd Series of Dick sG ames of Patience deems it unnecessary to repeat the special claims for favor to whichS olitaire is deservedly entitled; they have been fully set forth in the Preface of the previous volume. When the first series of sixty-four games was issued, it was supposed to fulfil 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 defcire 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. It is, however, presumed advisable to repeat the admonition that a careful examination of the specific signification of the technical terms on page 7, strictly adhered to throughout the book, will greatly simplify the description of the games.
