Solitaire
game, also known as Patience in Britain, is a card game that can be played
by one person. Does not exist a precise history of solitaire games, but it is probable
that
solitaires are been born with the card games. The word solitaire
is of french origin, and it means patience. It must but wait for the
age of Napoleon (is said Napoleon to have played a lot of solitaire) to see
a true development of the solitarie games. The first book on the argument
comes printed in 1870. It was Illustrated Games of Patience by lady
Adelaide Cadogan, containing 25 games, reprinted many times. In the U.S. mrs
E.D. Cheney published the successive year the book Patience. The
publishing house Dick & Fitzgerald in New York published in 1883 a
series of books dedicated to solitaire games ("Dick's Games of
Patience") and a second series was published in 1898. In the 1890's a
great populariser of the game was Miss Whitemore Jones, whose 5 volumes on
solitaires went reprint for thirty years.
