LORDS and the M.C.G. 



DEDICATED TO H.M. THE KING 

 A cricket chronicle of 137 years, based on 

 official documents and published with the 

 sanction of the Marylebone Cricket Club. By 

 the Rt. Hon. Lord Harris, G.C.S.I., G.C.I. E., 

 and F. S. Ashley-Cooper. With an Introduc- 

 tion by the Rt. Hon. Sir Spencer Ponsonby- 

 Fane, G.C.B., with 2 photogravures and 

 upwards of 100 black-and-white illustrations. 

 Quarto. 12/6 net. 



The story of the M.C.C. and Lords is one of 

 the most interesting" in the world of sport. 

 In 1787 Thomas Lord laid the foundation of 

 his fame by opening his first cricket-ground, 

 which was later to become the headquarters 

 of cricket throughout the world. 



In addition to being a history of the M.C.C. 

 this volume may also be said to be an 

 anecdotal record of cricket. In its pages 

 appear all the great cricketers of the past 

 and present. Fuller Pilch, Alfred Shaw, 

 Lillywhite, down to the men who are taking 

 wickets and making runs to-day. 



It is certainly a book without which no sports- 

 man's library can be said to be complete. 

 It is dedicated to the First Sportsman in the 

 Empire, H.M. King George.
