Seventeenth to twenty-third edition, comprising all seven editions by Knight’s successor, George West. 1883 records Australia’s victory by 7 runs in the first official contest with England, whilst 1884 gives a the full scores of Ivo Bligh’s team in Australia with commentary. The death of W.H. Knight, compiler of the first sixteen editions, is announced in 1880, and the 1885 edition carries an obituary of Wisden himself. He had no descendants, and the company was bought by the general manager, Henry Luff. West’s ill health in 1886 meant that the edition for that year almost failed to appear, and his resignation brought the almanack to a critical point.
