‎ Seule édition. En analysant les principaux jeux de hasard du point de vue des probabilités, l'auteur démontre l'impossibilité d'y gagner d'une manière autre que ponctuelle. "J'établis dans cet ouvrage la Théorie des jeux qui sont les plus suivis, et j'y démontre les désavantages que chacun d'eux a pour les pontes. Ils en tireront cette conséquence qu'on ne doit jouer que pour s'amuser, et qu'en ce genre toute spéculation intéressée est fausse." Rare. Relié à la suite : ROBERT. Le guide des joueurs de 31. Paris, Vulliet, (vers 1792). In-8 de 24 pp. L'auteur explique dans cette brochure comment maximiser ses chances pour gagner au 31 (un jeu de cartes). Il faut "avant de jouer, examiner soigneusement les chances et les vicissitudes de ce jeu (...) et distinguer paisiblement, sur des cartes marquées, les avantages qu'il peut espérer et les pertes qu'il doit éprouver." Illustré par de nombreux bois gravés dans le texte. Nous avons déduit le nom de l'auteur de la devise sur le titre : "Experto crede Roberto". Très rare. /// In-8 de 51 pp. Cartonnage moderne en papier marbré. //// <> (1). HUYN. Analyzing the principal games of chance from the probability's point of view, the author demonstrates the impossibility of wining in a way other than exceptional. Only two copies on OCLC. (2).

‎La Théorie des Jeux de Hasard" ou, analyse du Krabs, du Passe-dix, de la Roulette, du Trente & Quarante, du Pharaon, du Biribi & du Lotto. - [GAMES OF CHANCE]‎

‎[No place], 1788. 8vo. Bound in a recent full blue paper binding w. paper title-label to front board. Uncut. A bit of minor soiling to title-page, otherwise nice and clean. 51 pp.‎


‎The scarce first edition of this interesting book on games of chance and the theory of probability connected thereto. Huyn's profound study of the possible series and combinations within the mentioned games of cards, roulette, lotto, and various other chance- or hazard-games, is based on mathematical theories of statistics. Among other things Huyn, in the present work, shows that it is impossible to win in uneven games and that all attempts to speculate in these are wrong and prove to be false. As such, ""La Théorie de hazard"" provides us with an important early contribution to the analysis of chance games and a valuable work of very practical probability theory. The present work stands at the midst of a new scientific approach to games of hazard, which also directly influenced the art and manners of trick-games and tricksters. Apart from the mathematical approach to the subject, Huyn also thoroughly explains the rules of the games and even has observations on the moral aspect of them.The work is very rare and is only found in few copies in libraries world-wide, e.g. only two copies on OCLC. Another edition of the book appeared in 1803, printed in Amsterdam.‎
