PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION -'^/^»»*><^^^^^^*^/^A^>^~- WiLL the assertion appear paradoxical to our readers that the encouragement of games of skill tends to the suppression of vice ? Draughts, Chess, and their kindred games, can never, for a long time, furnish food for the gaming-table. He who seeks to gratify the lowest passion of the human breast, will not wish to hazard his property in a contest depending alone upon superior skill ; where, his own strength, and that of his adversary, having been once satisfactorily tested, the issue remains no longer doubtful. The Game of Draughts has, it is true, been occasionally perverted from its proper use. But the abuse of a thing forms no argument against its tise; and, while we regret that this game has ever, in any degree, been the occasion of evil, we can but think that, were it more generally introduced into the social circle, it would, m some measure at least, take the place of those 10 PREFACE. games of chance, which are scarce ever played with- out a wager. The young, especially, must have some rational means of recreation, and anything that can render the fireside pleasant, will prevent their seeking abroad the society of the vicious. But it is not alone because this game furnishes an agreeable and harmless recreation, that we are desirous of its more general introduction into the social circle. The Game of Draughts can boast of advantages su- perior to that of mere amusement. The application of the mental powers, the quickening of the perceptive faculties, and the prompt calculation of chances, are not the least of its benefits. Whatever improves the mind, at the same time that it affords entertainment, is justly classed in the most refined and elevated circle of amusements. And nothing, save the still more intellectual game of Chess, can equal this species of scientific recreation, which we are happy to say is the most popular of all games of science in this country. In more than one respect does it surpass even its more powerful rival. A person of ordinary mental powers can, by a few hours of careful study, master its prin- ciples, while a few minutes of prompt action are sufficient to decide the victory. A country, then, where republican institutions prevail — where all classes of the community are engaged in the busy pursuits of life, and the leisure of the rich is not compensated by the or-.HStant toil of the poor — furnishes a soil much PREFACE. IX more congenial to this than to a more difficult and abstruse species of amusement. Far be it from us to attempt to depreciate the most noble of all games, but we can but think that the game of Draughts is more suited to our wants than even the game of Chess. The latter is unequalled for its discipline of the mind, but we may hazard the assertion, that American citi- zens generally can never become eminent in a species of contest, requiring so much time for the attainment of its principles, as well as for a trial of skill. On the Game of Drau2;hts not a single work has ever been published in America. While almost every country of the Old World can boast of several fine volumes upon the subject, we are entirely silent. How are we to account for this .'' Is it because there are not eminent players among us } We may go through the length and breadth of the land, and we can scarcely meet with a child that is not acquainted with its rudiments. To fill this unaccountable chasm in our literature, is the object of the re-publication of the present volume. It was published at the beginning of the present century, by Joshua Sturges — one of the - most eminent players of this game that ever lived. The work was nearly out of print when it was re-pub- lished in London, about ten years since, by George Walker. So great has been the demand that, at the present time, scarce a copy remains in the book stores 12 PREFACE. of England, and only about half a dozen copies are known as being owned in America. The game, it is true, is played to a considerable extent in this country, but we are desirous of its being still more generally and more skilfully played, and if the re-publication of this volume, the best ever written in any language upon the subject, shall contribute to such a result, our fullest desires will be realized. New York, September, 1845. 13 PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION -''|^(V^^#.fsf^^#^*s/^*vs^^^- In bringing forward a new edition of Sturges' cele- brated Treatise on the Game of Draughts, I must claim my privilege, as Editor, to hazard certain pre- liminary observations. The work has been for many years out of print ; and, although the original impres- sion comprised an unusually large number of copies, has become so extremely rare of occurrence, that, latterly, it can only be said to have been attainable by the few to whom cost is a consideration foreign to the question of possession. The origin of the Game of Draughts appears to be lost, like that of Chess, in the depths of past ages ; while we find that with various unimportant modifica- tions, the game has been practised firom almost time immemorial in the chief countries of Europe. Played on the same board as Chess, it would seem, from its comparative simplicity, to be the progenitor of that 14 PREFACE. more difficult and abstruse recreation ; and, both these sports probably sprang, in common with the heroic exercises of the Greeks and Scandinavians, from the perpetual state of war in which every early nation was so barbarously engaged. Of the several varieties of Draughts, the two prin- cipal are — English Draughts, (I thus designate the common game exemplified in the work before us,) and — Pohsh Draughts. The latter was only invented during the last century, and is as yet but Httle known here ; though on the Continent it has nearly superseded the other game. It must -be admitted that Polish Draughts is the finer, as being the more complicated, of the two varieties. The wider range of the field — (the board exhibiting a hundred squares, instead of sixty- four;) — the increased number of combatants — (twenty on each side, instead of twelve) — as well as the greater power given to the men under particular circumstances : — all these advantages help to approximate Polish Draughts more closely than its rival, to the game of all games — Chess. In ranking, then, the chief sports of science accord- ing to their relative degrees of merit, I give the first place to Chess — the second to Polish Draughts — and the third to our own game of English Draughts. By thus admitting its slight inferiority, do we in the re- motest degree detract from the legitimate merits of this beautiful recreation ^ — I tliink not. The extreme PREFACE. 15 simplicity of English Draughts, and the consequent certainty, that, in a few hours, considerable knowledge of its rudiments may be acquired, afford a high recom- mendation to such persons as have not leisure to devote to the attainment of more difficult exercises ; and I cannot follow the examples of those authors who by constantly pouring the most exaggerated praises upon the subject they write of, — ^whatever that subject may happen to be, — produce something too like a feeling of strong contempt, in the minds of their better informed readers. With regard to the literature of Draughts, there are a number of early works in foreign languages ; but of unequal and inferior merit. Mallet* is the only author among the ancients at all worthy of notice. In our own country we have had writers besides Sturges, but with the exception of Payne| — and perhaps Painter J — they are only fit for a quiet slumber in Christopher North's Balaam-box. The whole of Payne's excellent book is incorporated by Sturges in this treatise ; thus furnishing the text, on which our author has so happily and copiously dilated. There is also a good pocket * Le jeu des Dames ; par Pierre Mallet. Paris, 1668, 4to.— See also L'Egide de Pallas, Paris, 1760, 12mo. t Introduction to Draughts, &c,, by Wm. Payne. London, 1756, 8vo.

The only books relating to it, in our language, are compilations by Pohlman and Twiss ,1 but they neither of them offer much information respect- ing its rudiments or constitution. Both Holland and Germany can boast of several large volumes on Polish Draughts ; while France is, above all other countries, rich in works not very difficult to be procured ; and the leading names of which I append, as a just tribute to this delightful source of scientific amusement.

PREFACE. 17 If ever man had an especial claim to write a book on the game of Draughts — it was Joshua Sturges. The chief leisure of his life had been devoted to the pursuit in which he so excelled. His genius for the game, and his sincere enthusiasm on the subject, could only be equalled by the indefatigable patience, with which, in the work before us, he has unravelled the most com- plicated difficulties, and traced them through their remotest ramifications. The highest contemporary evidence of the esteem in which Sturges was held as a Draught-player, is afforded in the list of subscribers affixed to the original edition of this work.* We there find that the copies subscribed for, previous to publication, exceeded five hundred ; a large number, as many a poor author would bear good witness. This catalogue of subscribers rejoices, too, in the names of many of the magnates of the land. Bishops, Lords, and others, headed by the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV. It may fairly be asked why similar en- courgement is not given to games of science.'* — and whether the most effective Temperance Societies would not be cheap Literary Institutions, in which the prac- tice of Chess and Draughts might form a prominent feature ? Respecting the part I have myself taken in this little * Guide to the Game of Draughts, &c., by Joshua Sturges. London, printed for the Author, 1800, 8vo. pp. 60. B 18 PREFACE. volume, a few words remain to be said. In the original edition, the introductory matter was meagre and incom- plete ; it will here be found extended and improved, I have also made a better arrangement of the immense mass of variations, branching so extensively from the different openings ; without omitting a single game or move. To do this, I found it necessary to subdivide some of the more complex games, and have thus im- portantly simplified that which many learners may still, I fear, look upon as a task sufficiently laborious. In the former edition, however, Game 4 displayed no less than thirty-eight collateral modes of play ; — Game 14 had thirty-three, — Game 21, forty, — ^while Game 31 presented fifty-one different variations ; thus offering a firont, from the attack of which, the boldest student must have shrunk dismayed. I believe no further " clearings " could have been attempted, without in- creasing the book to a size incompatible with large circulation. One improvement consists in displaying the hundred-and-fifty critical situations on diagrams ; instead of leaving them, as printed by Sturges, to be set up on the Draught-board from description only. This collection of positions will be found highly in- teresting *, and the playing through them alone, which may now be done merely fi:om the diagram, without the use of board or men, — will tend much to the profit, as well as amusement, of the studious amateur. Finally, in the first edition, our "recueil" comprised PREFACE. 19 but one-hundred-and-forty, instead of one-hundred-and- fifty critical situations as here given. This addition was made by Sturges himself, and he also replaced a number of the positions, with others of a higher character, in consequence of discovering some defects in the original selection. Had our author lived to superintend the publication of a second edition, the present is the exact shape which these ingenious problems were intended to assume. GEORGE WALKER. London March 21 183.^- 21 ORIGINAL PREFACE BY STURGES. -'>»./s/v/vs^/»v. To ascertain, distinctly, consequences in the'ir causes — to calculate with promptitude the result of intricate variety — to elude by vigilant caution the snares of stratagem ; are lessons which the game of Draughts strongly inculcates and uniformly explains. While, thus, the sport on one hand affords the means of in- tellectual improvement ; on the other, it banishes every temptation to moral depravity. It guards sim- plicity from the lures of deceit, and prevents cunning from preying on credulity : for where superior skill alone commands success, the ignorant are not mad enough to hazard their fortunes in a contest, where loss is certain, and gain impossible. Considering the game as an amusement, it cannot be denied that it tends to improve those faculties of the mind, which are eminently useful in every condition of life ; and may therefore be made the school of wisdom, but 22 PREI'ACE. cannot, like the gaming-table of chance, become the nursery of vice. These observations on the character of the game of Draughts, are addressed to those fastidious critics who disrelish, without distinction, every description of play ; and who doubt the propriety of publishing any book whatever, on the subject of a game. There is, however, another, and that, too, a numerous class of readers, who, readily acknowledging the inno- cent nature of the undertaking, will be only solicitous to inquire into the merits of its execution. On this head, though the author cannot boast of perfection, he can safely afl&rm, that every aid has been resorted to, which long experience, — intense study, — and the assistance of the most celebrated players could suggest, to render it as perfect as possible. Had Mr. Payne's book been formed on a plan, sufficiently enlarged, to enable the student to acquire a competent share of skill in the science, this work would never have made its appearance. The fact, however, is, that whoever consults that volume, will find it much too general to guide the judgment through that vast complexity of movements common to the game ; or to assist in extricating the player from those embarrassing difficulties in which particular situations must frequently involve him. Several of that author's games required correction, PREFACE. 23 and are here, as far as they go, displayed in their amended state ; together with the addition of nume- rous ramifications, to diversify the positions, — vary the scale, — and enlarge the plan. Wh,at is here advanced, is not intended to detract from the merits of any predecessor. Something like an apology seemed to he required, for the publication of a new work on the game of Draughts, and truth supplied the author with no other, than what is here offered to a liberal and candid public. But, surely, when it is considered that knowledge is the result of progressive improvement, it can be no proof of excessive self-complacency, to suppose that we have advanced a little nearer to perfection, than those who have gone so long before us in the study of the same art. At any rate, there is one original and important advantage, which the following work possesses over that of Mr. Payne ; it contains, at least, five hundred examples more than his, embracing the most critical situations which the game can produce, and arranged in so clear a manner as to be intelligible to any learner, however unskilled in the play. In short, the author entertains a hope, that the numerous improvements he has introduced, will, in the estimation of judges, raise the Game of Draughts in rank and consideration equal to that of Chess ; and that whatever fate his book may experience from the 24 PREFACE. surly critic, the liberal student will at least allow, that he has increased the number of his enjojrments, by enlarging the circle of innocent and useful amuse- ment. 25 ^STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. INTRODUCTION. The game of Draughts is played by two persons upon a board of sixty-four squares, colored alternately Black and White, or any other two opposite colors. The board is placed with an upper white corner on the light hand. Each player has twelve men ; which, on beginning the game, are placed on the first three lines of white squares. The following diagrams represent the board 2nd men in their original position ; and also the mode in which the squares are supposed to be numbered. It will be seen that, throughout this work, the upper half of the board is occupied by the twelve Black men, and the lower half by their antagonists, the White. J3^14gi-D^16 2p-32p23^P i^M5M5!^ 3J 26 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. The men being placed, the game is begun by each player moving alternately one of his men, along the white diagonal on which they are first posted. The men can only move forward, miless they have attained the extreme line of the board ; on which they become kings, and can move either forward or backward. The men take in the direction they move, by leaping over the hostile piece, which is removed firom off the board, and the man so taking another is placed on the square beyond. To explain this by practical illustration, let us begin by placing the draughts in their original position. You will now observe that if Black should move first, he can only move one of the men placed on 9, 10, 11, or 12. — Supposing him then to play the man from 11 to 15, and White answering this move by playing his piece fi-om 22 to 18, Black can take White by leaping his man firom 15 to 22, and removing the captured piece off the board. Should Black not take in the above position, but move in another direction, — for instance, firom 12 to 16, he is liable to be huffed ; that is. White may remove the man with which Black should have taken, from the board, as a penalty for not taking ; for, at Draughts, you have not the option of refusing to take, as at Chess ; but must always take when you can, whatever the consequences may be. The player who possesses the power of huffing his adversary has also the option of insisting on his taking, instead of standing the huff. When one party huffs another, he does not STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 27 replace that party's move before he does so ; but simply removes the man huffed, from off the board, and then plays his own move. When either of the men reaches one of the extreme squares of the board, he is made a king, by having another piece put on, which is called crowning him. The king can move or take both forward or backward ; keeping, of course, on the white diagonals. Both the king and common man can take any number of pieces at once which may be " en prise^^ (liable to be taken,) at one move, and both are equally liable to be huffed. I dwell the less on the elementary part of the science, as the playing through one game here given, from the numbers, will do more in the way of teaching the rudiments of Draughts, than the most elaborate theo- retical explanation The game is won by him who can first succeed in capturing, or blocking up, all his adversary's men, so that he has nothing left to move ; but when the pieces are so reduced that each player has but a very small degree of force remaining ; and, being equal in numbers, neither can hope to make any decided impression on his antagonist, the game is relinquished as drawn. It is )bvious that were this not the case, and both parties having one or two kings, the game might be prolonged all night, with the same hopeless chance of natural termination, as at the first moment of the pieces being resolved into the position in question. I have already 28 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. shown you that when a man reaches one of the squares on the extreme line of the board, he is crowned and becomes a king ; but there is another point relative to this, which it is necessary to understand. The man, thus reaching one of the extreme squares, finishes the move on being made a king, and cannot take any piece which may be "ew prise. ''^ To exemplify this, place a White man on 11 , and Black men on 7 and 6 : — White, having the move, takes the man and demands that his own man should be crowned ; but, he cannot take th6 man on 6 at the same move ; which he could do were his piece a king when it made the first capture. In particular situations, to have the move on your side, is a decisive advantage. This is a matter little understood by ordinary players, but its importance will fully appear by studying the critical situations. To have the move, signifies your occupying that position on the board which will eventually enable you to force your adversary into a confined situation, and which d,t the end of the game, secures to yourself the last move. It must, however, be observed, that where your men are in a confined state, the move is not only of no use to you, but, for that very reason, may occasion the loss of the game. To know in any particular situation whether you have the move, you must number the men atid the squares, and if the men are even and the squares odd, or the squares even and the men odd, you have the move. With even men and even squares, or odd men STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 29 and odd squares, you have not the move. This will be best explained by an example : Look, then, at the 8th critical situation, where White plays first ; there the adverse men are even, two to two ; but the White squares, being five in number, are odd. The squares may be thus reckoned — from 26, a White king, to 28, a Black king, are three, viz. 31, 27, and 24 — The White squares between 32, a White man, and 19, a Black man, are two, viz. 27 and 23. You may reckon more v/ays than one, but reckon which way you will, the squares will still be found odd, and therefore, White, so situated, has the move. When you have not the move, you must endeavor to procure it by giving man for man, a mode of play fully and successfully exem- plified in this work. It is a mistaken notion that any advantage is derived from playing first. It is admitted, that he who plays first has not the move, the men and squares being then both even ; but, though he who plays second has the move, it can be of no service to him in that stage of the game. The truth is, that when the combatants con- tinue giving man for man, the move will alternately belong to the one and the other. The first player will have it at odd men, at 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1 ; the second player will have it at even men, at 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 ; and therefore some error must be conunitted, on one side or the other, before the move can be forced out of that direction. 30 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. There is another mode which will, in less time than reckoning the squares, enable you to see who has the move. For instance, if 3'ou wish to know, whether any one man of your's has the move of any one man of your adversary's, examine the situation of both, and if you find a Black square on the right angle, under his man, you have the move : — For example, you are to play first, and your White man is on 30, when your adversary's Black man is on 3 — In this situation, you will find the right angle in a Black square between 31 and 32, immediately under 3, and therefore you have the move. This Rule will apply to any number of men, and holds true in every case. To play over the games in this work, number the White squares on your draught-board from 1 to 32, and observe that the Blaclc pieces always occupy the first twelve squares. Tlie abbreviations are so ob\'ious, that they cannot need explanation; — ^as B. for Black, W. for White, Var. for Variation, &c. Occasionally, stars are introduced, to point out the move causing the loss of the game. The learner begins with the first game, and finding the leading move to be 11 . 15 (that is, fi:om 11 to 15,) knows that Black begins the game. The second move 22 . 18 belongs to White, and the game is thus played out ; each party mo\dng alternately. After finishing the game, the player proceeds to examine the variations to which he is referred by the letters and other directions. The numerous variations on some STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 31 particular games, ana the consequent necessity each time of going through the leading moves up to the point at which the variation arises, will, prohably, at first, occasion some little fatigue ; but this will be soon forgotten in the speedy and decided improvement found to be derived from this course of study. One of the minor advantages resulting from a numerous body of variations is, that, in tracing them out, the leading moves are so frequently repeated that they become indelibly fixed in the mind of the player ; who thus remembers which moves are to be shunned as danger- ous if not ruinous, and which moves are to be adopted as equally sound and scientific. As to general advice relative to draught-playing, next to nothing can be learnt from a volume of such instruc- tion. You should bear in mind, that it is generally better to keep your men in the middle of the board, than to play them to the side squares, — as, in the latter case, one half of their power is curtailed. If you are a chess-player, you will do well to compare the draughts in their march and mode of manoeuvring with the Pawns at Chess ; which, as well as the Bishops, or other pieces, are seldom so strong on the side squares as in the centre of the board. Accustom yourself to play slowly at first, and, if a beginner, prefer playing with those who will agree to allow an unconditional time for the consideration of a difficult position, to those who rigidly exact the observance of the strict law. 32 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. Never touch a man without moving it, and do not permit the loss of a few games to ruffle your temper, but rather let continued defeat act as an incentive to greater efforts both of study and practice. When one player is decidedly stronger than another, he should give odds to make the game equally interesting to both parties. There must be a great disparity indeed if he can give a man, but it is very conunon to give one man in a rubber of three games ; that is, in one of the three games, the superior player engages to play with only 11 men instead of 12. Another description of odds consists in giving the drawn games ; that is, the superior player allows the weaker party to reckon as won, all games he draws. Never play with a better player without offering to take such odds as he may choose to give. If you find yourself, on the other hand, so superior to your adversary, that you feel no amusement in playing even — offer him odds, and should he refuse, cease playing with him unless he will play for a stake ; the losing which, for a few games in succession, will soon bring him to his senses, and make him willing to receive the odds you offer. Follow the rules of the game most rigorously, and compel your antagonist to do the same ; without which, Draughts are mere child's play. If you want to im- prove, play with better players, in preference to such as you can beat ; and take every opportunity of looking on when fine players are engaged. Never touch the STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 33 squares of the board with your finger, as jou see some men do, from the supposition that it assists their powers of calculation, and accustom yourself to play your move ofF-hand when you have once made up j^our mind ; without hovering with your fingers over the board for a couple of minutes, to the great annoyance of the lookers-on. While you play, do not fall into the vulgar habit of incessantly chattering nonsense ; and show no impatience at your adversary, should he be a little slow. Finally, bear in mind what may well be termed the three golden rules to be observed in playing games of calculation : — Firstly, to avoid all boasting and loud talking about your sldll — Secondly, to lose with good temper — and. Thirdly, to win with silence and modesty 35 LAWS OF THE GAME. 1 . The first move of each game is to be taken by the players in turn, whether the game be won or drawn. For the move, in the first game at each sitting, the players must draw lots, as they must for the men, which are, however, to be changed every game, so that each player shall use the black and white alternately. 2. You must not point over the board with your finger, nor do any thing which may interrupt your adversary's full and continued view of the game. 3. At any part of the game you may adjust the men properly on the squares ; but after they are so placed, if you touch a man, it being your turn to play, you must play him in one direction or other ; if, however, you move a man so far as to be in any part visibly over the angle separating the squares you are playing from or to, that move must be completed. No penalty is attached to your touching any man which cannot be played. 4. In the case of your standing the huff, it is op- tional on the part of your adversary, to take your man or king, or to compel you to take that piece or pieces 36 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. of his, which you omitted by the huff. (The necessity of this law is evident, when the young player is shown that it is not unusual to sacrifice two or three men in succession, for the poAver of making some decisive " coup.'''' Were this law different, the player might take the first man so offered, and on the second's being placed "ewjarwe," might refuse to capture, and thus spoil the beauty of the game, (which consists in the brilliant results arising from scientific calculation,) by quietly standing the huff.) — The act of huffing is not reckoned as a move. 5. If, when it is your turn to play, you delay moving above three minutes, your adversary may require you to play ; and should you not move within five minutes after being so called upon, you lose the game ; which your adversary is adjudged to have won, through your improper delay. 6. When you are in a situation to take two different ways, you may take which w^ay you like ; without regard (as in Polish Draughts) to the one capture comprising greater force than the other. For example, if one man is ^'' en prise*'' oneway, and two another, you may take either the one or the two, as jou like. 7. During the game, neither party can leave the room without mutual agreement ; or the party so leav- ino;, forfeits the game. 8. When, at the end of the game, a small degree of force alone remains, the player appearing the stronger, STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 37 may be required to win the game in a certain number of moves ; and, if he cannot do this, the game must be abandoned as drawn. Suppose that three Black kings and one White king were the only pieces remaining on the board ; the White insists that his adversary shall win or relinquish the game as drawn, after forty moves have been played by each player. — The moves to be computed from that point at Avhich notice was given. If two kings remain opposed to one king only, the moves must not exceed twenty on each side. In giving the odds of the drawn games, the game must, however, be played to a more advanced state than required in any other case. When in such a game the situations become so equal that no advantage can be taken, he who gives the draws, shall not occasion any unneces- sary delay by uselessly repeating the same manoeuvres ; but shall force his adversary out of his strong position, or lose the game through its being declared drawn. 9. By-standers are forbidden to make any remarks whatever, relative to the game, until that game shall be played out. Should the players be contending for a bet or stake, and a spectator say any thing that can be construed into the slightest approach to warning or inti- mation, that spectator shall pay all bets pending on the losing side, should that side win which has received the intimation. 10. Should any dispute occur between the players, the question must be referred to a third party ; whose 38 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. decision shall be considered final. Of course should a player commit any breach of the laws, and refuse to submit to the penalty, his adversary is justified in claim- ing the game without playing it out. 11. Respecting a false move, such as giving a com- mon man the move of a king, or any other impropriety of the same sort, the law varies in different countries as to the penalty to be exacted by the opposite party. We cannot but suppose that such mistakes are uninten- tional, and consider it sufficient penalty that in all such cases the piece touched must be moved to whichever square the adversary chooses ; or, he has the option of allowing the false move to stand, if more to his advantage. Should the piece be unable to move at all, that part of the penalty cannot be inflicted. s WVi h. -C, STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 3& 24.20 A. 10.14 27.24 GAME 1. 27.23 9.14 25.29 13.17 11.15 8.11 17.10 31.27 22.13 22.18 23.18 6.15 29.25 14.17 15.22 11. 8 27.24 Drawn. 23.18 25.18 18.15 8.12 16.23 8.11 Var.

Three kings win against two, in every position where the Black are in the double corners, as above. I think it necessary to name this, as I have heard it doubted. X A very neat piece of play.

There had long been wanting a work of character as a vehicle to mer- chants and manufacturers of im ore permanent announcements than are to "be met with in the columns of daily newspapers, as well as a reference work for purchasers. To supply this vacuum was the design of the AMERICAN ADVERTISER. A most natural and reasonable prejudice existed against advertising; w.or4cs, from the fact that 'many siioh works had sprung into existence for a season, and, after deceiving the public, disappeared. It was, therefore, perceived that some plan must be devised to elevate thecharacter of such a work, and ensure its wide circulation in the community. The method adopted was the regular publication of the American Advertiser in con- nection with some standard statistical work or some publication of gen- eral mercantile interest. The piyblishers have accordingly entered into arrangements by whicli they have bound, and will, for the present, con- *inue to bind each edition of the American Advertiser with **New York: Past, Present and Future," Satisfied that no publication is more appropriate or calculated to have a wider circulation among those classes whom it is designed to reach than this work of Mr. Belden, which, beyond question, presents statistical details in a more popular and attractive form than any previous worlc. The two works bound together are not only circulated by sale, but Hotels and other Pitelic; Places throtjghout thk Union Are supplied with copies gratuitously, according to the terms of the prosr pectus inserted hereafter. This undertaking has met with the mostcordiat approbation on thP P'^'"*^ "^ the mercantile commimity, and the AMERICAN ADVERTlSF.ti HAS BECOME A COMPLETE REFERENCE-BOOK FOR PURCHASERS, Containing the cards of merchants and manufacturers in every line of business. PRALL, LEWI8 6c. CO., Pub/isliers, 76 !Vafisaii-«it., Wow-YoiR, NOTICES OF THE PRESS. The Publishers desire to present the following EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES OF REVIEWS & NEWSPAPERS. American Revieto, March, 1850. In this work, Mr. Balden has furnished the traveler in New-York, a full statistical account of everything noticeable in the great metropolis. It is a complete anfl satisfactory stranger's guide. One half of the volume is occupied by advertisements, directing the stranger to the best stores and wholesale business establishments. The work is illustrated by splendi^ steel engravings (^f the principal buildings, and has an ex- cellent map of the city. Mr.,Belden's opportunities for the preparation of such a work, have been, to our certain knowledge, at least equal to those of any of our citizens. Democratic Review, Feb. 1850. The materials for this work have been derived from official sources, particularly from the records and documents of the city, which were placed by public act of the Common Council at the disposal of the Author, in April last. It is illustrated with fine steel engravings of the i;n|Ost prpminent public buildings in the metropolis, and contains a large amount of valuable matter. / New-York Journal of Commerce, Dec. 29, 1849. While supervising the construction of the Model of New- York, Mr. Belden had occasion to collect, in conneption with that enterprise, avast number of statistical details, all of which may be styled new; because, of the statistics previously printed, the inaccuracy was glaring when compared with those thus obtained, not from guidebooks and gazetteers, but from original and official sources ; and because of a large proportion of the subjects iriv^stigated, no statistics had up to that time ever been compiled and published. The author perceived, therefore, that he had collected to his hai;id3, in great part, the most reliable materials for an historical and despriptive account of the city.; apd he was thus encourag- ed to renewed effort to perfect so valuable a collection. To this labor Mr. Belden has assiduously devoted several years, and has so far accomplish- ed his task, as to be enabled to present to the public an epitome pf the work he has in preparation, which compares a sucoinpt historical sketch Qi the city, a description of its present condition, and an estimate of its future increase. In respect to the present condition of New- York, the ■^olume now before us appears to contain all tliat is desirable pc^rtainintr NOTICES OP THE PRESS. to a description of the city and its numerous objects of rational curiosity and interest, its population, government trade and commerce, mo;:al and religious condition, institutions of education and for benevolent ob- jects, its facilities for the cultivation of scieuce, literature, and art, etc. The chapter devoted to a consideration of the causes of its prosperity, and estimates of its future increase, is rational, well considered, and highly suggestive. The general appearance of the volume is tasteful and creditable to the publishers. The engravings are numerous, in general well executed, and faithful representations. On the whole it is a work of paramount value for reference ; and to those who become habituated to its use, it will seem as indispensable as an almanac. New-Yor'^ Express, Jan. 4, 1850. The author of this work, Mr. Belden, is the gentleman who projected and, with the assistance of eminent artists, completed the Model of Newr York, about which so much has been said by Uie pvess in our country \ and from the researches necessarily made for the purpose of construct- ing the Model, he is possessed of an immense fund of knowledge which he proposes bringing out in a large volume of which the work before us is an epitome. Attached to the volume is anew enterprise called **Th9 American Advertiser," designed to fill a vacuum in mercantile literature. The plan of each work is that each edition shall consist of one thousand copies, which will be bound with sorpe standard statistical work, or some publication of general mercantile interest, nnd will in this form be circulated gratuitously and by i^ale. The plan secvrns a good one, and, we; hope it will be successful. New York Tribune, February \st, 1S50. New-York : Past, Present and Future is by the ingenious author of the Model of New- York, and contains a great amount of local inlbrmaiion drawn from original sources and for the most part from official documents. Evenint^ 3Iirror, Jan. 11th, 1850. Mr. Belden was the prpjector of \he Model of New- York, which ex- cited so much admiration here some tinie since ; and lie has presented us in this work with a collection of liistorical facts, statistical details, and highly interesting particulars with regard to this city, of the most valuable character, and which render the work indispensable, if only for future reference. The records and documents of the City, were, by voto of the Common Council, furnished to the authc't. The work is embel- lished with ?ome beaUtifnlly executed engravings of most of our publi^j buildings, and is got uj) in n neat and tasteful style. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. Neif-York Sun, Jan. 11th, 1850. New-York : Past, Present and Future is the title of the volume rcr cently issued by E. Porter Belden, the originator of tlie famous Model of New-York. Like his Model, this work is very accurate, and contains more information about this great metropolis than we have ever seen .comprised in one book. It is profusely illu&frated with engravings, and, in addition to the interesting 4escripfiye letter-press, (Contains many valuable statistics. New-York Globe, May 25th, 1850.

The above is a work replete with useful and important statistical details, many of which were never given in print before its publication. Its statements are aU drawn from original sources, and there is no statis- tical information given that has not been obtained from the official papers of the City or the most authentic personal conimunications. A yasf number of pleasing historical facts are contained in the book» gathered from old documents. The work is well bound, beautifully printed, and contains excellent views of the City Hall, New- York from Governor's Island, and other pnibellishrppots pf interesting buildings and places in and around the City. Morning Star, Jan. Sd, 1850. This handsomely got-nip book contains an immense amount of valuable information respecting the Government, Public Institutions, Trade, Commerce, Charities, &c., of this great and growing metropolis. It will prove alike useful to the man of business and the man of leisure, as it is a most interesting and useful directory. NeW'YorJc Express, May 29^/i, 1860. The more this book is used as a work of reference, the more does its value appear. No subject of importance or interest to the merchant or icitizen is left untouched. It is accurate, concise and comprehensive. The American Advertise?, bound under the same cover, is a com- plete directory to the various jpercantile and manufacturing pursiiits pf the city.
