| Text | Cooke, Cassandra, Battleridge" an Historical tale, Founded on facts. In Two Volumes. By a Lady of Quality (G. Cawthorn, London, 1799). A character recalls how, when his clerkship to a lawyer ended, a former playmate took his leave by saying: "Ah! no more cricket, no more base-ball, they are sending me to Geneva." David Block (page 183) notes that Cooke was in correspondence with Jane Austen in 1798, when both were evidently writing novels containing references to base-ball. Also submitted 8/19/06 by Ian Maun. |
