Excerpt from Hoyle's Games, Improved and Enlarged by New and Practical Treatises The present edition of "Hoyle's Games" differs essentially from all its predecessors. The lover of the lucidus ordo will find a more logical disposition substituted for the elaborate confusion of the former editions. The various Games have been classified under the three several categories of Games of Pure Chance - Mixed Games - and Mental and Bodily Games; preceded by a short introduction explaining the nature and object of the classes to which they belong. Under the head of the first will be found entirely new treatises upon the Doctrine of Chances, Rouge et Noir, Roulette, the Lottery of France, and an Analysis of the Chances and Combinations of Dice.
