William Stopford Kenny (born 1788; died London, November 16, 1867〔''A Literary and Biographical History, or Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics'', Volume 4, Joseph Gillow, london/New York:Burns & Oates:1895, "Kenny, William David"〕) was a British schoolmaster, a writer and compiler of educational works, and an accomplished chessplayer who published and translated several works on the game. Kenny ran a Catholic day-school at 5 Fitzroy Street, Fitzroy Square. He edited, compiled, and wrote many educational works, such as ''The History of England'' (1850, with William Godwin), ''Kenny's School Geography'' (1856), and ''Tales About the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Comets'' (1862, with Samuel Goodrich). Kenny was a chessplayer - several of his games were recorded - and published several works on the game, including ''Practical Chess Grammar'' (1817) and ''Practical Chess Exercises'' (1818). He also translated Philidor's ''Analysis of the Game of Chess'' into English, with notes. His son William David Kenny was also a schoolmaster, and wrote and edited works similar to those of his father. ==References== 〔 * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Stopford Kenny」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
