	Billiards - LoveToKnow 1911
		English Billiards The English table consists of a framework of mahogany or other hard wood, with six legs, and strong enough to bear the weight of five slabs of slate, each 2-i ft. wide by 6 ft. i 2 in., and about 2 in.
		The perfection of billiards is to be found in the nice combination of the various strokes, in such fashion as to leave the balls in a favourable position after each individual hazard and cannon; and this perfection can only be attained by the most constant and unremitting practice.
		In France billiards was played exclusively by the aristocracy and the richer middle class until the first part of the 17th century, when the privilege of keeping billiard-rooms was accorded to the billardiers paulmiers, and billiards became the principal betting game and remained so until the time of Louis Philippe.

	Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sometimes, however, "billiards" standing alone will refer in particular to carom games played on a pocketless table, as opposed to games played on tables with pockets, which may be referred to either as "pocket billiards" (or "pool"), as "snooker" or as "English billiards" (depending upon equipment size and rules).
		Billiards is a family of games played on a table with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.
		The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart, meaning "mace", an implement, similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue.
