(Nos. 786-791 are all Irish pirated editions, as were 793 and 797. They were also advertised to be sold together in one volume at the price of 2s. 6d. This volume, however, had not a separate title-page.)

This generally, if not always, occurs bound up with the Treatises on Quadrille, Piquet, and Backgammon, and sold as 'Mr. Hoyle's Treatises' or 'Mr. Hoyle's Games.'

(This title-page, in red and black, is inserted before the titlepage to the Treatise on Whist last described. It would appear that Osborne sold his remainder to W. Reeve, who issued it as a ninth edition. It contains certain misprints which are also in the early copies of the eighth, but not in all, so Osborne may have continued to sell a corrected edition himself.)
