The Game, or rather style of game, called Patience, for it is not one, but manifold; has long been a great favorite in Europe, but is familiar to our people only in one or two of its simplest forms, under the French name of Soli taire. I have endeavored, in this little book, to naturalize it here, in all its charming variety.
