In a work of this description, intended as well for the general as the scientific reader, it was thought desirable to adhere to the notation in common use among the players of this country, but in a more elaborate and expansive treatise, it would certainly be desirable, perhaps indispensable, to adopt such a modification of the system as would admit of tabular demonstrations, full ones, by a difference of type. Thus the reader who has not leisure to pursue an opening through its several deviations, and is content to follow the moves which have been pronounced the best, has only to play over the column of larger type, and may reserve for a future opportunity the study of the many beautiful and suggestive variations which are given in the smaller letter.
