| Notes: | The same setting of type as Hardie.1 with updated preliminaries and the new material on short whist from Hardie.2 The book is stereotyped and there is at least one noteworthy difference. In some copies (O, TxU), A1r begins "Companion to the Family Card=Table" just as Hardie.1. In others (both Copisarow copies and Levy), the heading has changed to "Companion to the Card=Table", although it is otherwise the same setting of type. |
