Cloth, 8vo, 27 cm, xix, 659 pp. From the introduction: "This work lists, with bibliographical detail, and analyses of contents, the works on the game of chess published in the English language between 1850 and 1968. Works originally published before 1850 but reprinted, or, in the case of periodical publications, continued, in or after that date are also included, so that the several significant and influential works of the 1830s and 1840s are not omitted. The coverage includes all facets of chess play, records of matches, tournaments and the games of individual players, works on, arnd collections of, chess problems, historical works, periodicals and other serial publications, works on the games derived from chess and. Literary works in which reference to chess is made. The coverage excludes compendiums of games (e.g. Hoyle) which include chess sections, general encyclopaedias (e.g. Britannica), dictionaries and other reference works which include chess articles, magazine articles unless in book form (there are a few exceptions to this general rule, such as comprehensive chess periodical coverage of a chess tournament), programme. Of chess events, unpublished manuscripts, works specifically on oriental games with similarities to chess (unless derived from chess), and publications, such as rules, relevant only to a particular club or society. Within these defined limits this work aims to be comprehensive. A separate entry is not, however, made for every identical reprint; one printing, usually the first, of an edition is selected for detailed analysis and description and reprint dates are noted in the entry." The scarce first edition, which is larger format than the recent reprint. Corners slightly bumped, rear board somewhat marked, and with one light 4 inch scratch. Slight spotting to top edge of text block and first front free endpaper and heavier spotting to second front free endpaper and title-page. One ink underlining and one word ringed in introduction, otherwise contents clean and Good. Seller Inventory # ABE-07157
