PREFACE. "From chaos down to Caesar's time" is along, dull, and dusty road, no matter what may he the pur¬ suit of the traveller; but in the search of materials for constructing a readable book on cricket, few will deny that the man must possess extraordinary courage who buoys himself up with anything like hope or expectancy. Now, as a big book is ad¬ mitted to be a big bore, the object aimed at in these pages is to avoid the obloquy of boredom, and to keep as far as possible from tortuous and beaten tracks, so that a few hitherto unmentioned facts concerning the manly and noble game which now is gaining universal sway, may be deemed worthy of perusal. In these days there is no lack of delvers who are perpetually unearthing some ancient stone, or antique relic, serving to bolster up viii Preface. some fanciful theory or preposterous idea. Two propositions are herein submitted, viz., that Cricket is neither of remote origin nor foreign growth.

  • FC Series of Archives
    ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES Vol IV A CATALOGUE Edited by Francis W Steer Preface Unlike its predecessors, this fourth volume of the catalogue of the archives at Arundel Castle will have to remain in manuscript until either printing costs are reduced or a new and economical process of reproduction is invented. This situation is a matter for regret on two counts as it spoils a series of printed books which have been of assistance to scholars all over the world and it is going to make the definitive edition of the catalogue of this vast collection of archives more difficult for someone to compile in the future. This volume, so far as manuscript permits, follows the style of the other three. It contains (pp1-65) a vast accumulation of records (mainly drafts although some are of special interest and importance) which Messrs Few & Co. (solicitors to the Dukes of Norfolk since 1815) must have transferred to Norfolk House, St James‟s Square, London, over 90 years ago. The documents are in excess of 9,200 and demonstrate, in particular, the litigious character of Bernard Edward, 12th Duke of Norfolk (1765-1842) and the immense amount of work which accrued to his solicitors; they also show the policy with regard to the dispersal and/or consolidation of estates – sometimes to pay off enormous mortgages and at other times to simplify that difficult administration of what was a huge and scattered estate extending into several counties. The catalogue (1965) of the Arundel documents deposited at Sheffield City Library should not be forgotten by students concerned with properties in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

  • The London Mechanics' Institution Social and Cultural Foundations 1823-1830
    The London Mechanics’ Institution Social and cultural foundations 1823-1830 Helen Hudson Flexner University College London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 Flexner, London Mechanics’ Institution, p. 1 I, Helen Flexner, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Flexner, London Mechanics’ Institution, p. 2 Abstract: This study of the founding in 1823 of the London Mechanics’ Institution examines its constituency, catchment, and mandate to teach working men science and technology. To explain the Institution’s distinctive character, it is necessary to move beyond the flourishing patent/invention journalism, which provides one explanatory context, to the cheap literature disputes, debating society connotations, and Francis Place’s network. These radical associations show why George Birkbeck was quickly designated the ‘founder’, even though he was unknown to J. C. Robertson and Thomas Hodgskin when they proposed such an institute in the Mechanics’ Magazine. Birkbeck’s social standing would allay Establishment fears. An older historiography stressing middle-class social control is tested by analysing contemporary journals, newspapers and manuscripts. The first two volumes of manuscript Members’ Registers (1824-29), recording 8,343 names with occupations and addresses, have been transcribed and appended. These allow a comparison of members’ occupations with London trades generally and highlight diverse occupations within families. They also reveal family relationships between clerks and mechanics – important because clerks have been cited as a sign of middle-class invasion. Indeed the lack of any gross change in class composition suggests that there was no working-class exodus in these pre-Reform years.

  • Eton Ramblers Cricket Team, July 1912
    Manuscript of the Month December 2013 Photograph of the Eton Ramblers cricket team, July 1912 In these days, when in some quarters there is a tendency to decry the grand old game and to try to tinker with the laws, in order to pander to the taste of a public vitiated by spectacular games, any movement in this direction of true amateur sport will be welcomed by lovers of cricket, and such a game as that played at Basingstoke on Wednesday and Thursday, though probably only witnessed by a limited number of favoured spectators, would have been worth going far to see. (The Sportsman, 26th July 1912) As the second Ashes Test gets underway at Adelaide, this photograph conjures up memories of another cricket match, one played over a century earlier. During two days in July 1912, the Eton Ramblers, a team made up entirely of members of the Hoare family, all of whom had attended Eton College, took on and defeated a Basingstoke & North Hants XI in a game of friendly rivalry. Among those taking part were Harry Hoare (standing fifth from right), a partner at the bank from 1894, Arthur Hervey Hoare (standing third from right), partner from 1908, Geoffrey Lennard Hoare (standing second from right), partner from 1932 and Reginald Hervey (Rex) Hoare (standing far right), partner from 1944. The family’s love of cricket, however, can be traced back much further, to the early years of the nineteenth century. Cricket has been played in England for hundreds of years. But it was during the eighteenth century that the game really took off, with wealthy aristocrats funding their own clubs and staking huge sums on the outcome of matches.

  • The Story of Sport in England
    THE STORY OF SPORT IN ENGLAND This book tells the fascinating story of sport in England, from its earliest beginnings in social play and pastimes, via its adoption as an alternative to the routine of urban life, to its consumption as the product of a global industry. Along the way, key themes and issues in the history of sport are examined, including: ■ The role of social structures—the influence of society on sport, and sport on society ■ The emergence of sport ‘welfarism’ and ‘sport for all’ ■ The growth of the popular press, and the television revolution ■ Globalisation and the sports industry ■ Twenty-first century sport—the present and future of sport and leisure.
