The article presents information on two books. The books are: "Card Essays, Clay's Decisions, and Card-table Talk," by Cavendish and "The Art of Practical Whist," by A.W. Drayson. The triple title of the interesting volume first named corresponds to the three distinct divisions of which the book is made up. In the first Jones has gathered together seven essays on card-subjects, which he has contributed at different times to different publications; in the second he has set down certain decisions on disputed points of whist-play, with the reasons made by the late Clay. Drayson's book is a volume for the inexperienced, giving first the laws of the game and then simply and directly showing what the elements of good play are.
