ALEXANDER D. PATERSON
The Manual of Cricket. New York: Berford and Co., 1847. 16mo., 13 wood-engraved plates (the earlier part waterstained), original flexible blue cloth with title in gilt on upper cover, gilt edges (recased, new endpapers, some sunfading), modern blue cloth case.
ONE OF THE EARLIEST AMERICAN CRICKET IMPRINTS. A small manual but with a title of over a hundred words long, declaring it to be "A Complete Cricketer's Guide: to which is added the body, and all that is important of Felix on the Bat". The wood-engravings, including six at the end of the manual demonstrating "what you ought not to do", are copied from Wanostrocht's book. VERY RARE. Allen 51; Padwick 392.
