First edition of this important early mathematical approach to poker; along with Blackbridge's The Complete Poker Player 1875 it is the earliest book devoted soley to the game. The author Henry T. Winterblossom advertises himself as a Professor of Mathematics and his book is the first to treat the mathematical aspects of poker. Winterblossom argues that knowing the odds and probabilites of success with each hand mitigates the risk inherent in gambling and reduces the player's reliance on dumb luck: "All games of chance create a morbid appetite in those who indulge in them in proportion to their ignorance of the mathematical basis upon which those games are constructed." <br /> <br /> "The National Game" a New York Times article for February 12 1875 suggests that Winterblossom is a pseudonym and though the author's real name is not revealed he was thought to be a member of New York's literary Lotus Club.<br /> <br /> The earliest contemporary notice of Blackbridge's Complete Poker Player considered with Winterblossom the first books on the sport was a review in the 10 April 1875 edition of the New York Times - evidence perhaps that Winterblossom's work has precedence as the first book on poker.

An Angling Classic with Derrydale Associations. A splendid book with Wilkinson's evocative etchings. <br/><br/>Major the Right Honourable John Waller Hills qualified as a solicitor but spent most of his career in Parliament as an MP Privy Councillor and Financial Secretary to the Treasury. In addition to the present volume and books on finance and horse racing he wrote A History of Fly Fishing for Trout 1921 and River Keeper 1934. He died in 1938 just before he was due to receive a Baronetcy; instead this was conferred on his five year old son with the Major's wife being accorded the style and title of a widow of a Baronet. Notes Robb "This is very exceptional if not unique . his merit was equaled by his popularity; he was given the significant and familiar name of "Jack" Hills."<br/><br/>In 1931 Eugene V. Connett proprietor of The Derrydale Press imported some unsold copies of A Summer on the Test for sale to his customers subsequently prompting Frazier to list it in his enumeration of Press titles as "an important and beautiful Derrydale related item". He also notes that in addition to a plain green cloth binding this book "comes in at least one variant binding in cloth which simulates a three-quarter leather binding" as in the copy offered here. <br/><br/>Siegel notes that Connett's copies "were not marked in any manner that would enable one to identify them as being imported for The Derrydale Press".<br/><br/>Not a Derrydale but at least a distant relation and a very nice copy of as Robb puts it "one of those volumes one loves to count among his treasures."

Litchfield on the limitation page: "Dimi: finding this copy took some doing. I'm glad you have it. HG Pickering"<br/><br/><br/> In a letter which we hve had in the past Pickering explains the genesis of this book: "In 1931 an incident occurred on my annual fishing trip which I thought sufficiently amusing to dress up as a thin yarn and send out to my friends as a Christmas greeting. It was my thought to have it printed in pamphlet form by the office printer. Our mutual friend G. Franklin Ludington suggested that I should have it done by Derrydale and print only ninety-nine copies that it should be illustrated and that Mrs. Pickering should color the frontispiece. These things were done and to my astonishment and eventual undoing the book shortly became a collector's item." Siegel 31; Frazier p-6-a The Derrydale Press unknown books
