BY JERRY THOMAS, Formerly Principal Bar-Tender at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, and the Planters' House, 81. Louis. NEW YORK: DICK & FITZGERALD, PUBLISHERS, No. 18 ANN STREET. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York. - Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, BY DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.

    LOCATING FEELING: EMOTION, SPACE, AND PLACE IN MIDDLE HIGH GERMAN COURTLY LITERATURE AROUND 1200 Nicolay Ostrau A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Kathryn Starkey Jonathan Hess Clayton Koelb Ann Marie Rasmussen Brett Whalen ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A doctoral dissertation is never the work of one individual. I am forever indebted to the many people who made it possible for me to complete this project. I am most especially grateful to my advisor, Kathryn Starkey, for her extraordinary guidance, her remarkable support and her unlimited patience. I am equally grateful to Ann Marie Rasmussen for her invaluable advice, encouragement, and faith in this project. This project also benefitted greatly from the expertise of the other members of my dissertation committee, Jonathan Hess, Clayton Koelb, and Brett Whalen. Their encouragement and support for this project were invaluable.

DEAL Thirteen each, one at a time and face down. The last (52nd) card is turned face up to determine a trump suit before being taken up into dealer’s hand. OBJECT Players sitting opposite each other are partners. A rubber is won by the first side to win two games. A game is won by the first side to win 5 points, which may take one or several deals. The object of play is to win a majority of the 13 tricks, i.e., seven or more. A partnership scores 1 point for every trick it takes in excess of six (6 tricks constitute a book; those in excess are called odd tricks). Points are also scored for honours, these being the AKQ and J of trumps. A side scores 4 points for holding four honours or 2 for holding any three, but these are not credited until the hands have been played out, and must therefore be remembered. PLAY The player at dealer’s left leads to the first trick. Others in turn must follow suit if possible, otherwise may trump or renounce ad lib. The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led, or by the highest trump if any are played.
