"The proprietors of Hoyle's Games Improved, ambitious of retaining
that patronage which those who endeavour to serve or amuse the public
generally acquire, have had the whole work carefully revised and enlarged,
together with, as they hope, material corrections throughout; and supposing
that the same might properly be divided into nearly two equal portions, one
calculated for the card table, and most suitable to the ladies; the other
appropriate to the male sex, as containing games that require stronger
exertion, or more intense application; therefore they, the proprietors, now
re-publish, in a convenient size and elegant manner, that part which they
trust will prove most acceptable to their fair country-women, intending soon
to print the remainder in a similar form, so as to give a complete edition
of a book containing the most fashionable games both of skill and
chance." |
