Their eldest son was insane: there is no evidence that the condition was hereditary, although the first Earl seems to have suffered from depression in his later years. A previous betrothal to the great heiress Elizabeth Malet was broken off at her request: she later married John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. It was said that she found Edward ""unexciting""; historians have remarked that she is likely to have found far more excitement than she could have wished for with Rochester, who was probably the most debauched rakehell of"

A rumour in a contemporary travel book called ""Tour to London"" by Pierre Jean Grosley (although not confirmed) formed the popular myth that bread and meat sustained Lord Sandwich at the gambling table. An alternative suggestion by Sandwich's biographer, N. A. M. Rodger, is that due to Sandwich's commitments to the"

These cards were decorated with Chinese art, depicting Chinese warriors, weaponry, armor, and dragons. This deck consisted of 75 cards, and was not as popular as the Western card games had been, simply because of the difficulty of becoming familiar with the system.

This led him to the invention of the machine for pricking ""twilled"" cards, by which the labor of a man for fifteen hours could be performed in as many minutes. This machine was in general use for years, until the machine that both"

The Kepplinger holdout device and many others were described in detail by the magician John Nevil Maskelyne. The main purpose of any holdout device is to temporarily hold a card out of the game, so that the cheat may retrieve it at some later convenient time.

The operator would turn a crank which would slowly lower the bottom wall of the inclined receptacle.

"Ambitious Card The Ambitious Card, or Elevator Card, is a magic effect in which a playing card seems to return to the top of the deck after being placed elsewhere in the middle of the deck. This is a classic effect in card magic and serves as a study subject for students of magic. Most performing card magicians will have developed their own personal Ambitious Card routine. The effect is often credited to French magician Gustav Alberti, in the mid-19th century. However, there is a related idea in Ponsin's ""Nouvelle Magie Blanche Devoilée"", published in 1854, that might precede that."
