Cricketers' Almanack for 1899, edited by Sydney H. Pardon. London: John Wisden and Co., 1899.

Fourth edition in hardback, 36th in the series. This edition contains the score card of a match between Melbourne University and Essendon which led to ‘the highest authenticated total in the history of cricket’ with Melbourne’s 1,094 runs. H. Christian for Essendon was the least fortunate bowler taking 1 for 243. In reply Essendon made the modest total of 76.



Octavo (162 x 100mm). Mounted photographic plate, cxii, [2], 438, [29]pp. (some light spotting to plate mount and to tissue guard, a few insignificant spots confined to fore-edges of a few leaves at end, otherwise a clean copy). Publisher's original hardback cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, original printed yellow wrappers used as endpapers (extremities lightly rubbed with headcap slightly more affected with associated tiny nick, front hinge with the faintest of cracks in endpapers). Provenance: M.S. Beresford (ink ownership inscription on blank endpaper) – bookseller's label on front pastedown.
