I wish also to acknowledge the help received from the staff at the British Newspaper Library at Colindale and the National Archives at Kew, as well as those at various county libraries and record offices. Many institutions and individuals have also assisted by responding to my questions and those of colleagues. As with our seven previous books, there are three people deserving particular mention, who have devoted more of their time to the preparation of this book than the Editor or anyone else has a right to expect. They are Andrew Lowe, Colin Munford, and Michael Pearce . I have run out of words to give justice to the importance of their contribution. This publication is much enhanced by their contribution. As before, we owe them a particular debt of gratitude for their substantial input to this publication. Next, I thank my wife Anne , who has continued to encourage and support the preparation of this eighth book in the series in her own very generous and kindly way. Finally, but not least, I wish to express my appreciation to Peter Griffiths of CricketArchive. This is the second year that more of the preparation of the book has been computerised and it has the potential both to enable us to achieve greater accuracy in our work and to free up time to allow us to spend more time to undertake the detailed research needed to make this book and future books as complete as possible. I am grateful for those who have taken time to alert me to mistakes in the 1901 book and earlier issues, these are included in the corrigendum. As before, I must take responsibility for any errors and omissions, and ask that they be brought to my attention for inclusion in our next book.
