Beadle's Dime Chess Instructor
Chess was mentioned in many boy's activity books and chess sets were widely advertised in newspapers so we would assume it was a moderately popular game. The copyright date in this reproduction isn't clear but it looks like the original was published in 1864. It starts with basic information about each of the pieces, terms, and the "Laws of Chess.

A useful book for the beginner and also for someone wanting to improve his or her game. 80 pages. Paperbound. Price: $ 9.95
