HENRY F. BOYLE and DAVID SCOTT
Australian Cricketers' Guide for 1883-4
Melbourne: for Boyle and Scott by Kemp Bros., 1884. 8vo., pagination: 229p. (-4p. advertisements at front) + [1]p. + final advertisement leaf, pp.157-161 with diagrams of field-placings (lacking preliminary advertisements), contemporary red half roan, top edge gilt (extremities rubbed).
Fifth issue "containing an account of the doings of the Australians in England, intercolonial matches, club averages, and other interesting matter". This time the detailed account of the "Australian Eleven in England" (pp. 207-220) is not credited to Boyle, though he was again in the side. Boyle and Scott's offer of a challenge cup is followed by three pages of advertising for their cricket materials which "have all been specially selected by Mr. Boyle when in England with the famous Australian team". At the very end (p. 229) is a short report on "The Coming English Team". Padwick 3362.
