Then offering his book as an early birthday present, "I want to give you enclosed and hope it may be of some interest to you -- someday I will sign it for you," half-title duly inscribed: "In memory of many happy days and with best wishes from The Author". Britton p. 20; Goldman p. 101; Padwick 7657. [and:] C. B. FRY Cricket ( Batsmanship ) London: Eveleigh Nash, [1914]. 8vo., 15 double-sided plates only (of 16) after Montague Dixon (lacks plate opposite p. 244), original green cloth lettered in black (spine soiled and torn at head). Provenance : signed inscription by the author on front blank -- Regimental Institute Library, Richborough (stamp at end). Second edition.
