J. NYREN'S LONDON MATCHES
103
Before introducing the more personal part of Miss Nyren's memoir of her grandfather, I think it would be well to dispose of John Nyren's record as a cricketer, a topic of which too little is known. I have been carefully through Lillywhite, with the result that I find Nyren in thirty matches, of the most noteworthy of which I append particulars. No doubt he played also much in minor contests. This is the first that Lillywhite gives in Nyren's London period:
