Contains a continuous run of 52 weekly issues (12 pages each): Vol. 22, Nos. 1-52: February 21, 1852 to February 12, 1853. Bound in modern brown cloth over boards, leather spine label lettered in gold, modern wove endpapers, with an 1894 "Jockey Club" bookplate on each front pastedown. Endpapers lightly foxed, intermittent modest toning, very good or better. A scarce, handsomely bound volume of this important sporting newspaper. Founded and edited by William Trotter Porter, *Spirit of the Times* "aimed for an audience of sportsmen rather than sporting men, at a time when the former was identified with high-toned values and the latter described the whoring, street-fighting, and blood-sport inclinations of Bowery denizens." [Baseball historian John Thorn]. This 1852-53 volume of the newspaper features entertaining and informative accounts of horse racing and all manner of related equestrian sports (including farming, breeding, etc.); as well as hunting, fishing, and shooting; cricket, boat racing, and boxing. Also included is coverage of the theatre and associated arts. Included among the paper's coverage of boxing is a long, detailed account of the famous Heavyweight Championship Prize fight between George Thompson and John Morrisey that took place on Mare Island, California on August 21, 1852. The one and a half column of reportage in the issue of October 9th includes an account of the pugilists and events leading up to the fight, and all ten rounds of the fight itself: "Tenth Round - Both men came up to the word in splendid style, and showing the manly art of self-defense to more advantage than any previous round, and went to work in earnest. Thompson led off with his left, which was stopped. Morrisey, in return, sent in a stinger on Thompson's ear, which made the claret fly ." Other coverage includes two issues (10 and 24 April, 1852) reporting on the controversial dancer and actress "Lola Montez in Boston," and a memorial tribute (December 18, 1852) to acclaimed stage actor Junius Brutus Booth, father of actor John Wilkes Booth. A well-preserved, complete volume, providing a contemporary glimpse into the American sporting scene.

Intermittent modest toning, one small, light dampstain on the bottom back corner, very good. A scarce, handsomely bound volume of this important sports newspaper containing accounts of horse races, cricket matches, hunting and fishing, yachting, boxing, and baseball: it was the first periodical to include occasional coverage of America's nascent baseball and football clubs. This volume contains five issues featuring coverage of baseball (including three headlined columns), and two issues with reportage on the "St. George's Foot Ball Club," and "the annual football game at Brown University". The articles on baseball are among the first to report on the Knickerbocker, Gotham, and Eagle Base Ball Clubs of New York, with accounts of their games, including printed box scores. For example, the Nov. 25, 1854 issue reports on "a Home-and-Home Match of Base Ball, played recently between the second nine of the Knickerbocker and the first nine of the Eagle Club, on their ground at Hoboken. The Eagle, although comparatively a new club, did itself, as you will perceive [in the printed box scores], great credit, having come off victorious in both games ." The volume also contains much entertaining and informative accounts of American racing and all manner of equestrian sports (including "Female Equestrianism"); shooting, hunting, and fishing; farming and breeding, etc. A well-preserved, complete volume, providing a contemporary glimpse into the American sporting scene, and the earliest days of America's national pastime.
