Description:Excerpt from The Game of Billiards Since the first appearance of this work, the number of devotees of the polite art of Billiards has increased a hundredfold on this continent; and in the past few years the tastes of American players have undergone a marked change. Up to 1855, the hazard or pocket game - "spot ball," as it was sometimes termed - was the favorite mode of play with our people. Now, the more artistic, more versatile, and decidedly more beautiful carom game is in vogue; the six-pocket table has fallen into comparative disuse, its place being filled by the table with four pockets; and, finally, the tables of large dimensions are rapidly being superseded by those of a size intermediate - the American and French standards - viz., eleven feet in length, by five and a half in width.
