The theory of chess; a treatise, in which the principles and maxims of this game, or rather science, are clearly and concisely explained; As concisely at least, As it might be advisable to attempt: Including Directions for Playing, Modelled and Arranged in an Original Manner: Accompanied with Necessary Illustrations. For the Use of those, Whom the Celebrity of Chess, Has inspired with a wish to become acquainted with it; But who, Not having access to any Professor, Have no better way of acquiring the Rudiments, Than a Recourse to Publications on the subject.
