There have been many books published of late 

 years on fish and fishing in American waters, 

 but of them all, so far as the writer's observa- 

 tion extends, the "• American Angler's Book," 

 by Thaddeus Morris, deservedly stands at 

 the head. Mr. Morris understands his subject 

 thoroughly, at least that is the opinion of many, 

 competent to judge, and his book with one or 

 two unimportant exceptions, is accepted by 

 nearly all anglers as authority on fish and fishing. 

 What he says in reference to the Adirondack 

 region may be depended ui^on Avith entire con- 

 fidence. We will now leave the Adirondack 

 subject for other interesting matter.
