The Chess Monthly 1859 (Volume 3, 1859)

Edited by Morphy & Fiske

hardcover

Description:
"1859 finds Morphy still in Paris, with the editor painting a picture of a new Golden Age of chess following in his train, in succession to ""an age of close games, of dry and minute analysis, of an over-devotion to theory? but now? the tiresome, uninteresting and cowardly Sicilian and French games yield the precedence to the time honored, exciting for the ""errors, typographical and otherwise [which] abound in every number."" It is unfortunate that the title of the review contains a rather glaring typo. Plentiful news, games, poems and articles make for a well-balanced chess publication with a modern feel.
