Text | This book's first chapter, "The Origins of the Game of Cricket," is seen by Block as "if not the earliest, one of the finest early studies of cricket history. The author exhumes a great number of references to cricket and its antecedents dating back to the year 1300." A Boston edition appeared in 1859 [Mayhew and Baker, publisher]. |
