THE NEW 'WISDEN' DESCRIBED BY
'R. ABBIT” -
Changes Only Of Order And Arrangement
To those who not only play but study cricket, and perhaps even more to those who have had to give up the actual playing of the game and can only keep in touch with it as spectators and students, "Wisden" is a household word. The first number was published in 1864 and, though I confess I am unaware of its actual form, I know that for a great many years the Almanack has ap- peared in the form to which we have been accustomed. It was therefore somewhat of a shock to discover that in this, the seventy- fifth edition published in 1938, a now form has been given to the "Cricketers' Bible" as it has often been called. But the changes are only those of order and arrangement.
The
