A first edition of this illustrated guide to cricket from professional cricketer Albert Ernest Knight. First edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece and fifty images across forty-two plates and numerous in-text images. A detailed commentary on the game of cricket, its history, and development. Providing guides to batting, bowling, fielding, captaincy, and umpiring, as well as references to the rules of the game. Knight also includes chapters on cricket on farther shores, being mostly the Australian game, and the problems associated with modern cricket. With biographical sketches of important players of the past and present. Written by Albert Ernest Knight, an English professional cricket player. His most important contribution to the game is considered to be this book which Sir Derek Birley, in his A Social History of English Cricket, described as "a masterpiece of its kind, stuffed full of learned observations in weighty prose". With forty leaves of publisher's catalogue to the rear. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, sound with light rubbing to the extremities and marks to the boards. Light fading to the spine and board edges. Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with scattered spotting and the odd small handling mark. The odd ink mark or annotation with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Good. …
