'• Here is a book you can recommend to a friend ; a good book, on a 

 good subject, by a good fellow. Mr. Gale ... is the moralist, the 

 philosopher, the instructor, the story-teller of Cricket." . . . "His 

 Cricket HomiUes . . . should be in the hands of all, and especially 

 of the young." — Saturday Reviezv. 



' ' Mr. Gale's book, to which we have already referred, is a very refresh- 

 ing book in hot weather, a cool wind blows through it from the past into 

 the present, out of the dead past, over the daisied graves of ancient 

 cricketers." — Daily News. 



"An agreeable volume which every cricketer will read with pleasure." 

 — AthencEum. 



" The tone of the book is thoroughly sportsmanlike, and, what is still 

 better, high minded." — WestiJiinster Review. 



" A thoroughly good book . . . a manly healthy tone befitting a 

 veteran speaking to the young men of a new generation. For the rest, it 

 is practical and shrewd, with a vein of simple humour, too, and many 

 rules for cricketers of all ?iges."— Graphic. 



" Perhaps no living man is so well versed as he in the cricket lore of 

 other days. His recent book on the game is a storehouse of memories 

 and maxims." — Times. 



"The interest never flags in this chatty (and cheap) volume."— 

 Yorkshire Post. 



" Of all the books touching the game of cricket, this one of Mr. Gale's 

 is the most interesting, and ought certainly to become the most popular 

 . . it ought to be in the hands of all cricket enthasiasts."— Cricketer's 

 Herald. 



"Not a dull page in the entire book."— Sporting Life.
