Event table notes

Event data
Place: Paris
Start date: Mar. 1867
End date: Apr. 1867
 
Notes:
Di Felice gives date as July 1867; Winter discusses coverage of the match in the 15 Mar. and 15 Apr. 1867 issues of La Stratégie, and Cornil gives the final result from the 15 Apr. 1867 issue, so I guess that it was played in March and April. The Chess Player's Magazine of 1 May 1867 (p.157) and the Philadelphia Daily Evening Bulletin of 19 Apr. 1867 give the score as +7-2 for Rosenthal.
