MOT Out » Photo by Dattn <5r» Son, Red Htll. SEVENTY-ONE NOT OUT THE REMINISCENCES OF WILLIAM CAFFYN MEMBER OP THE ALL ENGLAND AND UNITED ELEVENS, OF THE SURREY COUNTY ELEVEN, OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TEAM OF 1859, AND OF THE ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN TEAMS OF l86l AND 1863 EDITED BY “MID-ON” WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCXCIX All Rights reserved TO GENERAL SIR FREDERICK MARSHALL, K.C.M.G., AN ARDENT AND GENEROUS SUPPORTER OF THE NOBLE GAME OF CRICKET. — PREFACE. I have lived to the age of seventy-one (hence the title of this work), and until some six months ago the writing of my reminiscences never occurred to me. Indeed had it not been for the fact of my meeting with an old friend—almost accidentally the ensuing pages would never have been written. Like most cricketers, I have unfortunately kept comparatively few records of my long career. Luckily I am possessed of an excellent memory, and with this and the aid of many an old volume kindly lent to me by various gentlemen I have been able to complete my somewhat difficult task. I have given a short sketch of the state of the national game at the time of my birth; how I learnt both batting and bowling when a boy ; have described my connection with Clarke’s old All England Eleven, and afterwards with the United; Vlii PREFACE. my visit with the first team to America in 1859; with Stephenson’s team to Australia in 1861, and with Parr’s more famous one in 1863; have given an account of my seven years’ residence in the Antipodes, and the close of my career after my return to England in 1871. -
