Lees' Guide Online

I recently typed the over 2000 games in Lees' Guide. I'm getting good at this. It took one week to type (I had typed about 5% of it earlier), and nearly one week to proof read. I will eventually add some of my own commentary and clarify the transpositions. The book was published in 1893, with several editions with supplements added at the end, into the 1930's. Here are those games, in PGN format (without the asterisks and Lees' comments):
