Excerpt from The Exploits and Triumphs, in Europe, of Paul Morphy, the Chess Champion: Including an Historical Account of Clubs, Biographical Sketches of Famous Players, and Various Information and Anecdote Relating to the Noble Game of Chess
I am much indebted, in the following pages, to the kind assistance of that able writer and veteran chess-player, Mr. George Walker who has furnished me with most of the very interesting and valuable information contained in the fourth chapter of this work. I am likewise under obligations to Herr Lowenthal for many anecdotes relating to chess celebrities of the past, and other information; and also to Mr. George Medley, Honorary Secretary of the London Chess Club, and Mr. Ries, of the Divan.
The cuts with which this work is embellished have been engraved by the well-known Brothers Dalziel. The portrait of Paul Morphy, copied from a photograph taken shortly after his arrival in London last year, is an excellent likeness.
