Hoyle's Games Modernised
Revised by Lawrence H. Dawson
Published by Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd: London 1952

" Originally rooted in Edmund Hoyle's 18th-century treatises, Hoyle's Games Modernised represents the mature evolution of the world's most famous authority on games, bringing centuries of accumulated knowledge into a clear and systematic mid-20th-century reference work. Revised by Lawrence H. Dawson, a recognised expert in card and board games, this edition presents the rules, strategies, and variations of more than eighty indoor games, carefully explained and standardised to reflect contemporary practice while preserving Hoyle's foundational principles of correct play. The scope is remarkably broad, encompassing card games such as whist, bridge, poker, and patience, alongside board games, billiards, games of chance, darts, and traditional table games, each treated with precision and clarity.

Published in London in 1952 by Routledge & Kegan Paul, this revised 20th-edition text stands as a definitive reference of its era, reflecting both historical continuity and modern refinement in recreational gaming. Its orderly structure, comprehensive contents, and authoritative tone made it a staple of clubs, households, and libraries, embodying the enduring phrase "according to Hoyle" as a mark of correctness and fair play. This volume would appeal particularly to collectors of classic reference works, historians of leisure and social games, bridge and chess enthusiasts, and those with an interest in the cultural history of games and pastimes."
