The Mouths of Rivers are too deep to be fa* 

 thonied by the Cordage of a Line ^ but more 

 inland, and farther diftant from the common 

 Receptacle of Waters, the Rivers are moft. 

 proper for the Angler's Diverfion. 



The principal Rivers in England are the 

 ihaims^ Severn^ Trent^ Tine^ Tweedy Medway^ 

 TeeSy Dove, Ijisy Tame, Willey^ Avon^ Lea^ 

 Irwely Lon., Nen^ Welland^ Derwent\ 

 Calder^ Wharfs Nid, BoHy Swale ^ HuU^ 

 Oiifey and jire. The Rivers in Wales are 

 reckoned above 200, the principal of v/hich 

 are' the Bee^ Wye, Conwy , Tivy^ Chedlaydy^ 

 Cluidy Usky Tovy^ Taff^ and Bovy,

 and Places of Note are on of near their 

 Banks ; making, as he angles,' Rem:u*ks pro-
