WISDEN, John (1826-1884). The Cricketer's Almanack for 1865. London: John Wisden, 1865.
Second edition, rebound with original wrappers preserved. At 160pp. the second edition was significantly larger than the first. Apart from covering Oxford and Cambridge scores from 1827, it largely restricted itself to results for the 1864 season in matches played by M.C.C. and the counties; most importantly, following a short memoir of George Parr, it provided scores for the 19 matches which his team played in Australia, January to April 1864. An acknowledgment of W.H. Crockford as printer appears at the foot of the final page.
Octavo (146 97mm). [4], 160pp. (Quires A-B and I-L with staining at bottom margin, staining also spreads onto text in lower part of title and two subsequent leaves, creasing to corner tips of early leaves). Modern brown buckram, spine gilt lettered, preserving original printed pink wrappers (front wrapper stained, affected by ink mark, and with '2nd' written in the same ink at foot, nick at bottom edge, both wrappers lightly soiled and with wear at corners, minor stains to back wrapper). Provenance: S. Fisher (signature at head of title).
