To the reader

JOHN WISDEN & Co. very respectfully offer to the Cricketing Public their fourth number of the Almanack, and have again to thank their numerous friends for the kind support they have received during the past three years.

In consequence of the great increase in the number of matches played during the past season, J. W. & Co. have most reluctantly been compelled to limit the Eleven v. Twenty-two Matches to the Results only, though they are aware that many of their friends are very much interested in them; but, having added the Results of many other Clubs, they trust the Work, as a whole, will give general satisfaction.
