THE STAUNTON CHESSMEN.
These celebrated Chessmen have now become the only recognised pattern amongst all players of the game. Their elegant form, designed so as not to obscure the view of other pieces on the board, their nice adaptation to the hand, and their justly indicated value in relation to each other, give them a decided superiority over any others yet produced.
