Benjamin Aislabie (1774-1842) was President of MCC in 1823, so this may have been presented to a member of the family to mark the occasion.

Published prior to the disastrous fire at Lord's in 1825, Bentley preserved records which would otherwise have been lost. Bowen, Cricket: A History of its Growth and Development, 1970, Page 270: '1823. H. Bentley issued his Correct account of all Matches 1786 - 1822: two supplements appeared for season 1823, and 1824-5.' Allen, Early Books on Cricket, 1987, no. 20. page 23: 'the most comprehensive tome on cricket to date...' Taylor, Catalogue of Cricket Literature, 1906, page 15: 'A glaring defect of Bentley's book is the fact that its pages are unnumbered, and consequently great difficulty is experienced in knowing whether the edition is complete or not. Including title-page the book should consist of 384 [sic] pages. Two supplementary editions were published; the first giving full scores of all matches played in 1823, and the second the same for the seasons 1824-25...very scarce.' (Taylor incorrectly gives the collation of the main work as 384 pages). Goldman, Bibliography of Cricket, 1937: 'A cricket rarity.' Padwick, 1221. [ref: 49625] £750.00 enquire buy |
