Excerpt from Studies of Chess, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing, Caïssa, a Poem, by Sir W. Jones, A Systematic Introduction to the Game, And the Whole Analysis of Chess Chess is distinguished from other games by the unhesitating suffrages of writers on education, by the cultivation of individuals in every illustrious order and honoured profession. Kings have not disdained its laws, nor generals to direct engagements on its field, mathematicians have examined its positions as problems, and calculated the force of specific combinations, divines have exercised contemplation in its vicissitudes. Teeming, through its varied progress and turns, with excitements to thinking, it is, by an essential tendency, a gymnasium of the mind. It is unnecessary to insist on the right of this game to be classed alone, as the distinction with which it is viewed, is a general sentiment.
