Excerpt from A Treatise on the Game of Chess: Containing an Introduction to the Game, and an Analysis of the Various Openings of Games, With Several New Modes of Attack and Defence; To Which Are Added, Twenty-Five New Chess Problems on Diagrams

My Second Sebies of Lessons, published in 1834, haying become rather scarce, I some time since began to prepare a new edition of that volume; but, finding it necessary to make considerable alterations and additions, I determined on combining both First and Second Series into one Treatise; hence the present volume, which is limited to an Analysis of the ordinary Openings of Games, and contains all that I thought worth extracting from the First and Second Series; but without the copious Remarks given in the former, which will continue to be published for the use of those young players who require a reason for every move.
