It's a shame

It's a shame that Joseph Henry Blackburne did not play the Jerome Gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+, (as opposed to playing against it; see "Mars Attacks!")  he had a nice touch with the Bxf7+ sacrifice. We've seen his 1862 blindfold win against Evelyn. Here's a later game from a blindfold simultaneous exhibition

Blackburne,J - Frankland
Leigh, 1879
blindfold simultaneous exhibition (one of six)

1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 Bc5

An unusual response in the Danish Gambit.

It is rare enough that I will include in the notes all of the games that I have discovered with the line (plus the following move by Blackburne, of course).
