WISDEN, John (1826-1884). Cricketers' Almanack for 1876. London: John Wisden, 1876.
Thirteenth edition, bound in original wrappers, spine partly preserved. Rare in this state. Perhaps the most remarkable century in the 1875 season was G.F. Grace's 180 not out for Gloucestershire against Surrey. He 'thereby not only scored more runs than did the whole Surrey Eleven with the bat in either of their innings, but he made the largest Gloucestershire score of the season and the second highest "County" innings'. He also far outscored his two brothers, W.G. and E.M., who made 21 and 28 in the same innings.
Octavo (164 x 104pp). 224pp. (Small spot on title, quires A-B with corner tips creased, p. 217 slightly soiled). Original printed pink wrappers (lightly soiled, lower corners of both covers a little worn, small spot on front cover, staining on back cover also affecting text on verso, spine chipped but retaining centre portion). Provenance: spine inscribed 'Cricketers Almanack 1876' in an old hand.
