   | End date:   1858 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Spinrad gives date as 1856, but the Chess Player's Chronicle of Jan. 1859 gives the result along with Morphy's match results of 1858, and the (Toronto) Globe (06-01-1877) has this match in 1858. The 14 Nov. 1858 issue of the Era (p.5) and the 7 Nov. 1858 issue of the Sunday Times (supplement, p.3) say the match had started. |  |  |  |
