I N T R O D U CT I O N A o f Sou th to friend mine , in the , once said me, that the surrender at Appomatox had brought about two serious — calamities an end to duelling and the disappearance of the colored cook . We may at least agree with him that the latter wh o result is a matter deeply to be deplored by all , like e o f myself , r member the marvellous skill the Southern - cooks . I used to be of opinion that the frying pan should be our national emblem , so complete was its culinary des otism p in New England and the West ; indeed , when once I was at Marquette and Duluth , buying a camp outfit , there was not a gridiron for sale in either town . But in the hands of a colored cook even the frying-pan ceased to be an instrument for producing dyspepsia ; and what other black art there was in the kitchens where the dark mammys ? -o f- reigned , who now can say It was a rule thumb busi - ness which was never written , save in some old time receipt one to book, and was literally handed down from generation another . - The well mannered colored folk , with aristocratic tastes , f still existed in my native city when I was young . One o to them , who was formerly my nurse, was always sent for cook the terrapin when there was a dinner party . She turned the other servants out of the kitchen , and performed ! her kindly incantations alone North of us, no one has ever been able to cook terrapin , which accounts for many things . As a race, we are certainly not gifted with culi I ntrodu ction nor a nary talent , h ve I ever heard of an attempt to patent a receipt or a new salad . It was therefore a great pleasure to see the little book in which my friend has preserved some of the famous receipts of the Creole kitchen . When , too, I saw , and indeed heard , the gay songs which were con sidered n eedful to be sung in the making of a Gumbo or of a u mb all a a J y , I felt that this was an addition to the business of the cook which must have lifted it to the level of the Arts we call Fine ; for surely the mingling of music with a sauce or a salad dressing is a refinement of which no cordon b l en has ever dreamed ! I have heard of but on e other use of song in the preparation of food . A certain bishop , staying in a modest farmhouse , was struck with the fact that , just before breakfast , he heard the cook sing - ing a well known hymn . On expressing his satisfaction at this act of early devotion, he was told she had discovered that exactly th e time needed to sing two verses was that which was required to bo il an egg. I am sure there are many who will be charmed by the pretty little songs in the Creole patois of the far Southern kitchen , and will in a th double sense appreciate e taste of the receipts , and the - effort to preserve the folk lore of the Southern cook . As I recall her , in Virginia , she was usually a fat woman of middle age , with a gay bandana kerchief about her head proud of her art , somewhat despotic , and usually known as Aunty .

  • The Bridge-Fiend; a Cheerful Book for Bridge-Whisters
    THE BRIDGE-FIEND A Book of Consolation for Incurables* «The Ladies Dearly Love Their Heated Little Post-Mortems' IHE BRIDGE- FIEND 1^ A CHEERFUL BOOKFOR BRIDGE- WHISTERS BY ARTHUR LORING BRUCE ^.^^^^^ V « 4 NEW YORK MOFFAT, YARD AND COMPANY 1909 %\ (k^^'^ % Copyright, 1908, igog, by Street & Smith Copyright, igog, by Moffat, Yard & Company Published October, igog CI.A251450 TO MISS N. I. OOMEWHERE, lurking In the underbrush ^^ of this sportive volume (and trembling and chattering wath fear lest you should dis- cover Its hiding-place) there is a cruel and murderous sentiment, hateful In the sight of him who vv'^rote It dov^m. I was made to in- timate, by some demon of perversity, perhaps, that an absolutely perfect bridge partner had never -existed. Such creatures — so runs the calumny — are, unhappily, extinct upon our troubled planet: they are purely mythical, like the angels or the minotaurs. For this false- hood I humbly crave your pardon. To you, then, perfect partner—mythical only in so far as you partake of the nature of the angels—I dedicate this little bundle of bridge memories. A. L. B. — FOREWARNING To the confirmed addict a cheerful book on bridge needs no apology. The sixty or sev- enty existing works on the game are so tech- nical, truthful and forbidding that the author hopes to see this carefree volume — because of its levity and partial untruthfulness- hailed by every incurable, as a very present help In case of a double. Its purpose is not to instruct but to distract. Nowhere, for in- stance, in the following pages, will there be found those most spirit-blighting of earthly words, " The penalty for a revoke Is three tricks torn from the screaming and revoking player." I take a certain pride, also, in stat- ing that, for the first time since the inven- tion of the game, that baneful and bitter " Table of Correct Leads " has been black- balled and excluded from a work on bridge.

  • A Study of Gamblers and Gaming Culture in London, C. 1780-1844: Emerging Strategic Reasoning in a Culture of Conspicuous Consumption
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online A Study Of Gamblers And Gaming Culture In London, c. 1780-1844: emerging strategic reasoning in a culture of conspicuous consumption Arthur Pitt MA History August 2012 Abstract Gambling has long been knitted into the culture of the English, occupying the leisure time of rich and poor alike. Therefore it is surprising that the subject has escaped much scrutiny or interest from historians. This thesis takes a closer look at English gambling in the late 18th and early 19th century. It examines the role of gambling in Aristocratic London clubs through a case study of White's Club betting book. It moves further afield to examine the changing styles of contemporary gaming publications, and the prominence of luck, skill and probability therein. A study of Scrope Berdmore Davies offers a snapshot of a character heavily embroiled in the clubs and racecourses of England. Finally, the thesis examines the evidence given at the 1844 Select Committee on Gaming, and attempts to understand the driving factors behind legal changes enacted in the 1845 Gambling Act. This study not only fills large gaps in the historiography, but also offers an interpretation of gambling history coloured by a fundamental understanding of the games and wagers described. 2 Contents Introduction 4 I: Wagers, White’s And Winning 16 II: Manuals, Strategy And Probability 59 III: Dandy In Debt 94 IV: The Run-Up To Regulation 119 Conclusion 142 Statement Of Word Count 147 Bibliography 148 3 Introduction Gambling is a worthy vice: timeless and ubiQuitous, it transcends cultures and eras.
