"It was indeed by the name of Bostonians that all Americans were known at that time in France... Coffee~houses took that name, and a card game was invented at the time called Boston. It is to this day {1830} exceedingly exceedingly fashionable in Paris by this appellation."

{Samuel Breck's Recollections & Passages from His Notebooks, 1877}
