From de Laurence, "I have drawn from all published sources a harmony of the meanings which have been attached to individual cards, and have given prominence to one method of working which has not been published previously; having merit of simplicity, while it is also of universal application, to be held to replace the cumbrous and involved systems of the larger hand-books."
