WISDEN, John (1826-1884). The Cricketer's Almanack for the year 1866. London: John Wisden, 1866.
Third edition, with wrappers. As the title proudly states, this edition of Wisden’s fledgling annual was published in the 30th year of Queen Victoria's reign. It records the scores of matches at Lord’s, of games between the nine county sides and the wanderings of what had become three national teams, All England, United All England and United South of England. The All England Eleven typically took on local 22s or 18s, but on July 17-19 at Sheffield they triumphed over 11 of Yorkshire by as much as an innings and 255 runs. The final unnumbered page is blank but for the imprint of W.H. Crockford.
Octavo (147 x 99mm). [4], 195, [1]pp. (Title slightly soiled). Original printed buff front wrapper, original back wrapper lacking but supplied by a pink wrapper from another copy (both wrappers secured with adhesive tape, back wrapper with excision at upper edge causing slight loss of text on inside cover, spine lacking, stitching a little loose). Provenance: William Cox (signature at head of title) -- William [?]Brown (faded signature on 'To the Reader' leaf).
