and instructive to composers. To this collection is added a treatise 

 teaching how to malie problems, and consequeully how to achieve 

 fame. In the words of the authors : — " Hitherto no chess work 

 explanatory of the problem art has issued from the home press. . . . 

 Tlie essay contained in these pages, although emanating from the 

 pen of Mr. Planck, has, after discussion and modification, received 

 the assent of his colleagues, and may therefore be considered as 

 representing the well-digested conclusions of four trained minds 

 upon the most important questions relating to the cbess problem 

 in its modern form." We hope that no problemist will omit to 

 obtain these " well-digested conclusions," for well-digested con-

In connection with the above we have to male the melancholy 

 announcement of the death of Mr. H. J. C. Andrews, which occurred 

 recently. Mr. Andrews was an exceptionally-gifted problem 

 compo.'Jer, whose experience extended over forty years of work 

 and gratuitous labour for the sake of chess. His death has called 

 forth universal expressions of regret and esteem.
