Thank you for your comment. We source our material directly from the British Library’s holdings, and their collection of this title begins in 1874. They don’t appear to have any earlier issues.

According to Wikipedia, the title was founded in 1871 rather than 1825, so while some early editions are missing, the gap is only a few years rather than several decades.

Our licensing team is always keen to identify opportunities to fill in these gaps. If you happen to know of an archive or library that holds editions from those earlier years, we’d be very interested to hear about it!

You don't have any sporting titles (apart from Bell Life in London) before 1859 and there wasa huge amount of sport before that date!!
