Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sturges' Guide to the Game of Draughts: In Which the Whole Theory and Practice of That Scientific Recreation Are Clearly Illustrated; Including One Hundred and Fifty Critical Positions
The game, it is true, is played to a considerable extent in this country, but We are desirous of its being still more generally and more skilfully played, and if the re-publication of this volume, the best ever written in any language upon the subject, shall contribute to such a result, our fullest desires will be realized.
