As the maps will give a better prospect of 

 these than any enumeration of them can do, let 

 every angler have a large one of England, or at 

 least of the particular county where he usually 

 angles, and therein he may with delight observe 

 the spring head, scite distance, various passages, 

 windings, turnings, and conlhixes of each parti- 

 cular river, with what towns, castles, churches, 

 gentlemen's seats, and places of note, are on or 

 near the banks; making, as he angles, remarks 

 proper to the nature of each. 



The six principal rivers are as follow : 

 1. The. Thames, compounded of two rivers, 

 Tame and Isis. The Tame rises in Bucks, be- 

 yond Tame in Oxfordshire, and the latter in 

 Cotswold-hills, near Cirencester in Glgucest^r-
