Preface
At Eastbourne^ on the English coast, one evening in August last some gentlemen sat down to a friendly game of poker. It was urged by one of the party that a book should be written in which the rules governing the game should be succinctly expressed. Some one said it would take a year to complete such a work. Whereupon the writer said it could be done in a month. This led to considerable discussion, and in a bantering manner a bet was proposed and accepted, that it could be written inside of four weeks. This little book is the result of that wager.
