DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Book of the First American Chess Congress The long delay which has occurred in the publication of this volume arises from two causes: - In the first place, graver avocations permitted me to devote but a small portion of my leisure to its compilation; in the second place, the work has gradually grown upon my hands until its size, as originally contemplated, has been more than doubled. This latter fact has, as I am aware, led to a somewhat unmethodical arrangement of the material; but as the increase in bulk is mainly owing to the length of the chapter on American Chess history, I could not find it in my heart to omit any incident, however trifling, which might throw a ray of light upon that hitherto obscure subject. And yet this part of my task is far from being thoroughly performed. Persevering efforts, which I had no time to make, might have considerably enlarged the chapter; and I hope that the labors of those who may be selected to compile the reports of future Congresses will finish the work which I have only been able to commence.
