Review from The Philidorian: ....To the spectacled dowager, or the
gouty old bachelor, -to miss near her teens, or master near his
pinafore. -How could there be devised a better game? It teaches the
child arithmetic, by a railroad process; and soothes the aches of
age by its gentle exercise of the brain. Pasquin's Treatise, long
out of print, was the best cribbage manual ever published; and in
the little volume before us Mr. Walker has appended a good deal of
interesting matter to a reproduction of the original. We may take
another opportunity to draw upon this work for extracts. At p. 41,
we turned up an error, which the publishers will thank us for
pointing out, in order to its being corrected in a second edition.
The author's words are, ""A sequence of a six, seven, and eight,
combined with a pair of aces, inclusive of a four card flush, yield
thirteen points,"" &c....
