Excerpt from Chess
Strictly speaking, this is not a Prologue, as intimated by the heading, but an Epilogue.
Entrusted with the editorship of the Chess article for the "Book of Card and Table Games," the article has assumed dimensions far beyond the scope and the space which the editor originally intended to devote to Chess.
In order to make the treatise on Chess more easily accessible to the Chess community and students, it was considered advisable to sever it from the "Book," and to publish it separately - as it forms a complete treatise on the game - in book form.
