In 1670, an edition of a book entitled 'Wits Interpreter,' was enlarged with directions for playing the "Courtly Games of L'Hombre, Piquit, Gleek, and Cribbage;" and in 1674 appeared Cotton's "Compleat Gamester; or, Instructions how to play at all manner of usual and most Gentile games, either on Cards, Dice, Billiards, Trucks, Bowls, or Chess." This book was several times reprinted; and in an edition published in 1709, the following are enumerated as the principal games at cards: Piquet; Gleek; l'Ombre, a Spanish game; Cribbage; All-Fours; English Ruff and Honours, alias Slam; Whist; French Ruff; Five Cards; a game called Costly Colours; Bone-Ace; Put, and the High Game; Wit and Reason, a game so called; a Pastime called the Art of Memory; a game called Plain-Dealing; a game called Queen Nazareen; Lanterloo; a game called Penneech; Bankafalet; Beast;[187] and Basset.[188] The game of Whist, or Whisk, as it seems to have been usually called, is unquestionably of English origin, and appears to have been popular long before it became fashionable. "Let India vaunt her children's vast address, Who first contriv'd the warlike sport of Chess; Let nice Piquette the boast of France remain, And studious Ombre be the pride of Spain; Invention's praise shall England yield to none, While she can call delightful Whist her own. But to what name we this distinction owe, Is not so easy for us now to know: The British annals all are silent here, Nor deign one friendly hint our doubts to clear: Ev'n HUME himself, whose philosophic mind Could not but love a pastime so refin'd: Ungrateful HUME, who, till his dying day, Continued still his fav'rite game to play;[189] Tho' many a curious fact his page supplies, To this important point a place denies."[190]
