Hoyle and Foyle Who Introduced Scientific Whist
An entry in the Glasgow Times notes Hoyle did not invent whist but popularized scientific whist. Moyle, a barrister and registrar in Ireland, is linked to his era. Hoyle, born 1670, died in Cavendish Square in 1767 at ninety seven, earned £1000 from his whist treatise and taught for a guinea per lesson. He valued probability calculations, drawing mathematicians to coffee houses to judge game positions.
