In April 1833 the publisher Effingham Wilson of the Royal Exchange brought out *The Young Cricketer's Tutor*, written by the elderly Hambledon player John Nyren and edited by his friend Charles Cowden Clarke. The slim duodecimo combined a manual of technique with a memoir of the great Hambledon men of the 1770s and 1780s and is generally regarded as the first significant book in cricket literature.
