For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification.

It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

    Hampshire Recusants in the Time of Elizabeth I, with Special Reference to Winchester

    Proceedings of The Hampshire Field Club VOL. XXI, PART II 1959 Hampshire Recusants in the time of Elizabeth I, with special reference to Winchester by JOHN E. PAUL RECUSANT is literally one who refuses. In a special historical sense recusants were those Roman Catholics who refused to attend the service of Common Prayer A in the Church of England, and this was the meaning attached to the term by the Government and the Catholic authorities. Such attendance at Common Prayer was com­ pulsory under the Act of Uniformity of 1559 (1 Eliz. C.2). If a person refused he was liable under that Act to the ' censures of the Church' and also to a fine of twelvepence for every offence. In 1581 under The Act to retain the Queen's Majesty's subjects in their due obedience (23 Eliz. C.l) this fine was increased to the crippling sum of £20 a month, equivalent, perhaps, to something well over £500 today. ' Church-Papists ' were those persons, Catholic at heart, who outwardly conformed by attending the Established service as a formal measure, interpreting such attendance as an act of civil obedience owed to the Crown. Many went to Common Prayer, which was a legal requirement, but shrank from receiving Communion, which was not. (It was, however, an ecclesiastical obligation, and an offender could be excommunicated, suffering any penalties which might arise from such excommunication.) Some, through fear, received Communion. In the second half of Elizabeth's reign outward conformity was practised, ostensibly to escape the severe financial penalties under both the recusancy Act of 1581 and that of 1586-7, to which complete abstention from the services made persons liable.
