Excerpt from 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
That such a work would be eminently useful, cannot for a moment be doubted, when it is considered how much time is saved in acquiring knowledge by proper instruction, and that none are so likely to become first rate players, as those who learn the game on scientific principles.
