Summary

Quanti (certainly a pseudonym) details the complex rules of the Spanish card game Quadrille. The proemium opens, "Card-playing by some is regarded as reprehensible, and by others as contemptible: I do not agree with either. I look upon cards in general as rational amusement. In some instances they administer to evil; but which of man's enjoyments do not?"
