Two issues of the second edition were published c.1802. Three issues of this third edition were published in 1804. Both issues of the second edition have misnumbered pages. In that edition the text between pages 71 and 78 is continuous, and pages 72-77 are not called for. The leading 19th and 20th century cricket book collectors and dealers such as H.S. Altham, A.J. Gaston, J.W. Goldman and A.D. Taylor all agree that this is one of the rarest of all cricket books.

17 Gale, Early Cricket Books, in Lillywhite’s Cricketers’ Annual, 1876, page 24: ‘...he puts his umpire, in the one plate that the book possesses, in a very odd, and indeed impossible place, the error being, as I suppose, the fault of the engraver. He is at least half a dozen yards behind the batting crease on the leg side and close up to the line between the wicket-keeper and long- stop...Boxall’s book is on the whole a very sensible one...the book is better than one would expect, both as to style and matter, and must have been written by a man of a good deal of practical and literary ability, though it is very probable that Thomas Boxall lent to it little more than his name, and that some press-hack of the day did the work.’ (Gale incorrectly dates the year of publication as 1790). Gaston, Cricket Books and Their Prices, [in The Cricket Field, Volume II, 1893, page 511]: ‘A very rare book indeed.’ Gaston, Bibliography of Cricket, [in Wisden’s Cricketers’ Almanack 1923, page 267]: ‘This book is the most rare of all the published cricket books I have seen during a period of 40 years’ collecting. An article on Boxall’s Guide appeared in The Field, 19th May, 1906, by W.A. Bettesworth.’ Altham, History of Cricket, 1926, page 382: ‘The first of all technical manuals, and one of the rarest of all cricket books.’

Rait Kerr, Cricket. Catalogue of an Exhibition, 1950, no. 103: ‘The first instructional book on the game. The paper for the first and second editions is water-marked 1801, though both are undated. The first edition omits the engraved frontispiece showing the positions of players on the field. A third edition is dated 1804.’ Bowen, Cricket: A History of its Growth and Development, 1970: ‘1801. T. Boxall published the first instructional book on cricket in English.’ Gaston, Bibliography of Cricket, 1895, page 11 incorrectly records: Rules and Regulations for Playing the game of Cricket.....Boxall. 1800. Taylor, Catalogue of Cricket Literature, 1906, pages 17-18: 'This book, perhaps the most rare and coveted of the very few contributions to the literature of cricket in the early days, and certainly the first practical treatise on the game, is probably worth its weight in gold. The exact date of the first edition is somewhat difficult to define. It has been given by different authorities as 1790, 1800 and 1803, but the last date appears most probable, and seeing that the paper on which this edition was printed is water-marked “1801” it is impossible for the book to have appeared before that year...It is difficult to fix a market price for such a rare item...but the first edition, with its valuable engraving, in good condition...is priceless.’ (Taylor’s note is incorrect as the first edition did not have a frontispiece). Goldman, Bibliography of Cricket, 1937, page 168: ‘The rarest of all cricket items.’ Padwick, 373.

Lewes, Sussex Press: printed and sold by J. Baxter. (1819?). Small 8vo. 62pp. Folding engraved plate and 1 full-page diagram. Handsomely rebound in half morocco, top edge gilt, with original grey wrappers preserved. With original printed label on front wrapper. Good condition. With the bookplate of E.D.R. Eagar. Fifth edition. The successor to Boxall’s Guide, Lambert’s Guide ran to many editions. The frontispiece shows a game of cricket in progress at the Paddock, Lewes, Sussex, with a key to the positions in the field. Gale; Early Cricket Literature, in Lillywhite’s Cricketers’ Annual, 1876, page 24. ‘...I need say but little about this book, which is a flagrant and deliberate piracy of Boxall’s. Whether Lambert had personally anything to do with the fraud it is hard to say, but he was far too ignorant to have written or even dictated anything of the kind himself. He was a man of very bad character, and probably gave the use of his name for money...to some unscrupulous speculator.’

D. Rait Kerr, Cricket. Catalogue of an Exhibition, 1950, no. 104: ‘The frontispiece, with a key to the positions in the field similar to that in Boxall, represents a game at Lewes. These ‘Guides’ ran to numerous editions. A spurious twentieth edition would, from the content of the Laws, appear to be earlier than the twelfth which is probably the last. It has lately been proven that except for this twelfth edition, which contains an accurate version of the Code of 1830, Lambert cannot be relied on as an authority for changes in the Laws.’

Allen, Early Books on Cricket, 1987, no. 17: ‘The puzzle surrounding the numbering of the editions is unlikely ever to be solved. There are 13 known editions, the penultimate being numbered 20th and the last, which was published circa 1830-32, being numbered 12th. The 13th-19th editions have not been found and were probably never produced.’ Gaston, Bibliography of Cricket, 1895, page 8, incorrectly notes: ‘Lambert’s Guide ran through 20 Editions, but dates are not given on title pages.’

Taylor, Catalogue of Cricket Literature, 1906, page 61: ‘The first and second issues comprise 55pp. post 8vo.; the third, fourth and fifth editions 62pp. post 8vo.; the seventh edition 61pp. 16mo.; to which was subjoined The New Single Wicket Game; and the tenth to twentieth editions 47pp. 16mo. These guides are very rare...Unfortunately the editions are undated.’ [Taylor incorrectly notes: ‘Lambert's Guide ran through twenty editions].’

Goldman, Bibliography of Cricket, 1937, page 119: ‘Although copied from Boxall’s Guide, is one of the rarest cricket publications...the later editions seem to be scarcer than the earlier ones.’ Padwick 383: ‘13th-19th editions have not been traced and probably were never published.’ £2,500.00

Charles Cowden Clarke compiled and wrote, from the recollections of John Nyren, The Young Cricketer’s Tutor and The Cricketers of My Time.

Arlott, Books: Histories, (in Swanton, World of Cricket, 1966, pages 134-135) this is ‘a pleasantly irreverent corrective to over-seriousness about cricket...The text is largely confined to scores with occasionally laconic comment. The books were elegantly printed by the Favil Press and, since there were only about 50 copies of any volume, they tend to be rare and expensive.’ Goldman, Bibliography of Cricket, 1937: 'printed for private circulation.’ Padwick, 1308. £2,000.00

Frontispiece and 6 text illustrations. Bound in half morocco, covers soiled, with original wrappers preserved. (A COMPLETE SET). A series of six pamphlets on the origin of cricket by P.F. Thomas under the collective title of Old English Cricket titled: Cricket's Cradle, Early Cricket, Old-Time Cricket, Cricket's Prime, More Old Cricket and Cricket In The Weald, together with a new frontispiece and title-page. These pamphlets were published between 1923 and 1929. Writing under the pseudonym H. P.-T. the author has set out, as the result of many years of painstaking research, valuable evidence on the origin of cricket and the early conduct of the game. The frontispiece to this collected edition is drawn from William Blake's illustrations of The Ecchoing [sic] Green from Songs of Innocence. The author was fortunate in finding the most enthusiastic of cricket publishers, C.H. Richards of Nottingham, who published cricket books over many years. Not many copies of the H. P.-T. studies were printed and, consequently, they are now difficult to obtain.

Addressed in Bradman’s hand and dated 21st March 1991. ...Yes, I’m sure the hours I spent with a stump and a ball trained my eyesight & co-ordination & so helped my cricket although I never thought of that at the time. I just did it for fun. Tests at Adelaide University proved that my eyesight & speed of reaction was no quicker than that of the average student...On your world XI side I must accept Grace and Barnes purely on reputation as I never saw them. But I would substitute Don Tallon for Oldfield: Don was a better wicket keeper & a better batsman. Also there is no doubt in my mind that Lillee was a better fast bowler than Larwood. - the latter’s reputation is somewhat fictitious because of the body-line season, but in orthodox cricket Lillee’s performance is much superior & of course I saw a great deal of both of them. Great fun picking mythical teams because nobody can ever be quite sure of the answer. Bradman (1908-2001) played 52 Test matches for Australia between 1928 and 1948.
