In April 1823 Henry Bentley — the MCC's longstanding scorebook keeper — published A Correct Account of All the Cricket Matches Played by the Mary-Le-Bone Club. The volume contained scoresheets from every MCC major fixture between 1786 and 1822. It became the foundation reference for nineteenth-century cricket history and the source from which all later Regency-era statistics were derived.
