[1] gives all the games. In a few places, they differ from the scores as given in e.g. ChessBase. Only thirteen games were played. I suspect that more might have been planned, but that the match had to be cut short when Staunton had to return to London. In fact, the last game was left unfinished and therefore drawn by common accord in a position where a lot could still happen.

Wanted:

  • The exact dates the games were played.
