WISDEN, John. Cricketers' Almanack for 1871, edited by W.H. Knight. London: John Wisden and Co., 1871. 8° (152 x 94mm). (Title lightly dust soiled, slight soiling to upper corners of preliminaries.) Modern brown buckram, spine titled in gilt, red speckled edges, original printed wrappers bound in (wrappers lightly soiled). Provenance: ‘... from G.F.G.’ (partly cropped inscription on wrapper). EIGHTH EDITION. Among the feats of the 1870 season are F.C. Cobden’s hat trick for Cambridge resulting in a 2-run victory against Oxford, and the opening partnership of 167 runs by John Smith and Roger Iddison for North v South; W.G. Grace, though top scorer for the South, makes only 6 and 24 in the same match. The almanack remains good value at one shilling -- the eight parts of George Eliot’s Middlemarch , serialised in 1871, cost 5/- each.
