Description
Excerpt from Morphy’s Games: A Selection of the Best Games Played by the Distinguished Champion, in Europe and America, With Analytical and Critical Notes
The circumstances which led to the present publica tion may be brie?y told. The editor was Often urged by members of the metropolitan clubs to publish a collection Of Mr. Morphy''s games, but hesitated to do so until Mr. Morphy gave his permission, and very gener ously promised to render all the assistance in his power. It was then impossible to resist the ?attering suggestion. The editor at once earnestly set about the work, and he is happy in being able to return his very hearty thanks to the American champion for the liberal aid he extended towards the prosecution of the arduous enterprise so long as he remained in England.
