(Hoyle,E.).: Back-Gammon. Rules and directions for playing the game of Back-Gammon, illustrated with calculations, critical cases, and games. London, printed for J. Harris 1801. 12°. Mit gest. Front. 32 S. Brosch. d. Zt. mit aufgez. Deckeltitel. (Gebrauchsspuren). Basiert auf dem ersten offiziellen Rule Book von Edmund Hoyle (1743), in dieser Form erstmals 1798 bei Symonds. - "It was not until 1743 that Edmund Hoyle published the first official rules for backgammon. A Short Treatise on the Game of Backgammon was first published in London, in 1743, and was reprinted again and again throughout the eighteenth-century. Another rule book for the game, Back-Gammon. Rules and Directions for Playing the Game of Back-Gammon, appeared in London in 1798. According to the title page, it was printed for H.D. Symonds. It must be noted that Symonds was not an author, but a London bookseller who published and sold hundreds of books from the end of the eighteenth century into the first decades of the nineteenth. Scholars have determined that this second backgammon rule book was lifted almost completely from Hoyle. The rules for the game were not changed but there was some re-wording of the rest of the text. Another bookseller, J. Harris, reprinted Symonds' version of Hoyle verbatim in 1817, though the original Hoyle rule book was also still in print" (Regency Redingote, Backgammon in England during the Regency).
