Présentation de l'éditeur
The rapid and steady demand for the previous edition of theE lements of Draughts, and the unanimous approval which has been accorded by the highest authorities, must be the apology of the publisher for indulging in a pardonable exultation over its absolute success. If proof were requisite that ability coupled with conscientious earnestness, must command entire success; it has been abundantly furnished for the past twelve years. In an article which appeared in Bell sL ife in London, Mr. Geo. Walker expresses the opinion that theE lements of Draughts ;or, Beginners Sure Guide, is the best elementary treatise ever written on the game. This is high praise but it is fully merited. In conclusion, it is sufficient to affirm that the merits of this book will force it into public notice, and an examination of its pages will compel the conclusion that the promises of its title-page and aspirations of its preface, have been more than realized. New York, 1872. Entered according to A ct of Congress, in the year 1859, by ROBERT M. DE WITT, In the Clerk soffice of theD istrict Court of the United States for theS outhern District of New York.
