Buch Erstausgabe
First edition; 8vo (23.5 x 15 cm); 2 engravings, half-title, final leaf of ads., partially erased ownership inscription in pen to front pastedown, top-right title-page cropped to remove signature; contemporary cloth backed boards, red roan title-piece to spine, fore and bottom edges untrimmed, light spotting, margins toned, corners bumped, minor wear to extremities; [6], xviii, 382, [2]pp. The first edition of Jacob Henry Sarratt's (d.1819) translation and arrangement of chess studies by the old masters Damiano, Ruy-Lopez and Salvio. Sarratt learned much from Verdoni, a disciple of the great French master François-André Danican Philidor who spent his final years in exile in London before his death in 1795. After Verdoni's death in 1804, Sarratt became the leading chess player in England assuming the title 'Professor of Chess'. Under his influence the London Chess Club adopted the continental rule that a game ending in a stalemate was a draw, rather than a win for the player stalemated as hitherto in England (ODNB).

8vo, pp.[iv], xviii, 382; some occasional foxing or spotting; mid nineteenth-century calf-backed boards; rubbed and darkened, several losses from spine.First edition. 'It was not the least of [Sarratt's] services to English chess that he introduced his generation to the work of the older masters, Damiano, Lopez, and Salvio, in a series of translations. That, as we now know to be the case, these translations were careless, inaccurate, and incomplete, did not rob them of their value at the time they were made' (H.J.R.Murray, A history of chess, p.874).Pp.346 382 contain seven games added by Sarratt, two 'played by two gentlemen who have a predilection for this gambit', one 'extracted from a very valuable treatise published at Modena, in 1769, and said to be written by Dr.Ercole del Rio' (presumably from Domenico Ponziani's Il giuoco incomparabile degli scacchi, 1769), and four 'extracted from a scarce and very valuable Italian manuscript, which has been very obligingly communicated to the editor by E.Morris, Esq., M.P.'. Van der Linde I, p.345. Language: English.

Buch Erstausgabe
FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (21 x 13.5 cm). ppxviii+382+[2, publishers adverts]. Full contemporary calf rebacked, spine ruled in blind and lettered in gilt, sides with decorative gilt border. 2 black & white engravings illustrating chess-boards. Ex libris Adam Smith Annand with his armorial bookplate to front pastedown. Binding scuffed, occasional light spotting (heavier to prelims and endpapers), generally a good solid copy. Jacob Henry Sarratt (1772 - 6 November 1819) was one of the top English chess players of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Sarratt was renowned as a player and author and adopted the title "Professor of Chess". He was the first professional player to teach chess in England. He introduced into England the chess rule that a stalemate is a draw, which was commonly used on the continent of Europe. He coined with his works of 1813 and 1821 the term Muzio Gambit. He was a pupil of Verdoni and later the teacher of William Lewis and Peter Unger Williams. Includes translations of Questo libro e da imparare giocare a schachi e de le partite (1512), by Damiano, Libro de la invencion liberal y arte del juego del axedrez (1561) by Lopez, and Il puttino (1634), by Salvio. (Whyld and Ravilious, 1813:2).
