I meant to cite Hewitt Wheatly, not Wade, for showing flies on eyed hooks. The book is Rod and Line I believe in 1849 but don't hold me to that as I'm sitting in an airport at the moment!
The very best modern discussion of this subject is Tony Hayter's FM Halford and the Dry fly Revolution. Halford' Floating Flies and how to Dress Them devotes a chapter to the eyed hook.
