DESCRIPTION

"ELEMENTS OF THE GAME OF CHESS"

By William Lewis (1822)

 

Lewis, William: "Elements of the Game of Chess", or a new method of instruction in that Celebrated Game, founded on scientific principles: containing numerous General Rules, Remarks and Examples, by means of which, considerable skill in the game may be acquired, in a comparatively short time. The whole written expressly for the use of beginners, by WILLIAM LEWIS, Teacher of Chess, and Author and Editor of several publications on the Game.

London, Longman & Co Publishers, 1822. Private quarter leatherette crocodile skin type (possibly old half) with raised bands, and with author and title gold embossed in the thorn. (V) + VI-XII + 240 + (2 adverts) pages. 18,3 x 11,6 cm. In English.

 

Fair to good: Thorn has slight cracks, especially on the front cover, which is separated from the thorn in parts high and low, although at the moment it is not completely loose (although certain fragility), as they are joined in the middle. Lacks 3 cm from the top spine. Corners and edges are somewhat worn and beaten. The first X pages, and 87/95 show slight stains. Inside in good condition without written. Ex Dino Ruggieri Collection. To know the approximate condition, please see the photos. All the major defects are photographed.

 

Linde - N. 638.
