SALMON-FISHING. 141 



Of the foregoing, No. 1. Plate YII., and 

 No. 3. Plate IX. are very beautiful and ex- 

 pensive flies, particularly the latter number. 

 Yet I am satisfied that I could take out No. 3. 

 Plate VIII., the Captain, made of two sizes, 

 large and small, according to the state of the 

 water, and have a better chance of success than 

 with a book stuffed to repletion with all kinds 

 of pretty things. Taste is often sacrificed to 

 show : beauty and expense are neither of them 

 criterions of excellence. — Verb. sap. 



Having come to the conclusion of the fifth 



o 



part of this little work, the Author may as 

 well add, that all his contrivances for deluding 

 the finny race are manufactured and sold by 

 Mrs. A. Lewis, Fly-maker, Hereford.
