The Book of Parlour Games Catharine H. Waterman

Manual of Parlour Games has long been a desideratum among the social and family circles of town and country. Those which are most generally in use have lived in the memories of successive generations, and have been handed down by tradition time out of mind. It appeared to the translator of this work, that the collection of games, which it contains would be highly acceptable to the ladies of our own country. Many of them are entirely new to us; while others are recognised as substantially the same as those which have long furnished amusement at our own firesides.
