HENRY (1831-1899) , See also:English author, well known as a writer on See also:whist under his nom de guerre " See also:Cavendish," was See also:born in See also:London on the 2nd of See also:November 1831, being the eldest son of Henry D. Jones, a medical practitioner. He adopted his See also:father's profession, established himself in 1852 and continued for sixteen years in practice in London. The father was a keen devotee of whist, and under his See also:eye the son became See also:early in See also:life a See also:good player. He was a member of several whist clubs, among them the " Cavendish," and in 1862 appeared his Principles of Whist, stated and explained by " Cavendish," which was destined to become the leading authority as to the practice of the See also:game. This See also:work was followed by See also:treatises on the See also:laws of See also:piquet and ecarte. " Cavendish " also wrote on See also:billiards, See also:lawn See also:tennis and See also:croquet, and contributed articles on whist and other See also:games to the ninth edition of the See also:Encyclopaedia Britannica. " `Cavendish' was not a See also:law-maker, but he codified and commented upon the laws which had been made during many generations of card-playing." One of the most noteworthy points in his See also:character was the manner in which he kept himself abreast of improvements in his favourite game. He died on the loth of See also:February 1899.
