Hoyle

A man, who in 1742, published his "Short Treatise on Whist" and wrote his name in the annuals of games being probably more quoted than any other person, except for those talking on spiritual matters, for "According to Hoyle" entered the language shortly after his publication and had endured until today.

If you wish to know more about this fascinating man then you MUST read David Levy's website that provides valuable links to other articles and research by the author and others - see -
