James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1891

P R E F A C E . - ( 1 T H Efact that the A N N U A Lh a s n o wreachedits twentiethedition is sufficient proof, were any indeed wanting, of the permanent hold it has secured on the sympathies of cricketers of every class . The dominion of cricket , it has been aptly remarked, is one on which the sun never sets , and the Red Book has always been cosmopolitan in its aims , studying the interests and reflecting the views of those whose opinions are of any value in cricket matters . If imitation , too , be sincerest flattery , those whohave shaped the destinies of the ANNUAL havegood reason to be flattered . The policy which has guided them from the first will be faithfully carried out in the future . Information of any kind likely to interest cricketers will be heartily welcomed. To ensure the completeness and accuracy of the contents , the co- operation of secretaries of clubs is cordially invited . Forms for the insertion of statistics can be procured at any time of the Proprietors , 2, Newington Causeway.
