W. BAYLY
The Cricket Chronicle for the season 1863 ... with full scores of matches
London: A.H. Bailey, 1864. 16mo. (D1r and EE2r with adhesive tape repair at inner margin), original embossed cloth, front cover titled in gilt and dated 1864 (worn, inner hinges secured with adhesive tape, stitching weak).
ONLY ISSUE. Published in the same year as the first issue of Wisden's Almanack, this is the only work by "Captain W. Bayly" listed either in Padwick or the BL catalogue. The cover is variously dated 1863 and 1864. A thicker publication than the 1864 Wisden, partly because of the inclusion of overseas matches, it sold at the much higher price of 2s/6d. and, as Allen suggests, perhaps failed because it was more expensive. Allen 87; Goldman p. 56; Taylor p. 14; Padwick 902.
