HENRY F. BOYLE and DAVID SCOTT
HENRY F. BOYLE and DAVID SCOTT Australian Cricketers' Guide for 1882-3 Melbourne: for Boyle & Scott by Kemp Bros., 1883. 8vo., pagination: 210p. including advertisements + 3 final advertisement leaves, pp. 146-150 with diagrams of field-placings (old adhesive tape repairs to title and preceding leaves, B1 with section of blank margin cut away shaving some letters, marginal spotting and browning, a few nicks), modern half calf, original back wrapper bound in. Provenance : PRESENTATION COPY TO JESSE HIDE (Sussex and South Australia; inscribed "Mr Jesse Hide with comp. Boyle & Scott 10/10/83" on p. 9) -- Alfred D. Taylor (stamp on p. 81). Fourth issue, giving a "full account of the Hon. Ivo Bligh's English team in Australia; the Australians in England, America and Australia; intercolonial matches; club averages, and other interesting matter". As he played for Australia against Ivo Bligh's men, Boyle's account was genuinely first hand (see pp. 50-76). He gave a much briefer review of the Australians in England and America (pp. 194-99), but their games in England had been largely covered in the previous issue. Jesse Hide, the recipient of this copy, was hired as a coach for South Australia in 1878. He "stayed for three years at a salary of £200 a year, and laid the foundation on which the future glories of the State's cricket were built" (Moyes, p. 55). Padwick 3362.
