Item description from seller

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).
