Erstausgabe
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.
