TO 

 MY FISHING HOSTS AND FISHING FRIENDS 

 IN AFRICA, AUSTRALASIA, AMERICA, 

 THE WEST INDIES, AND EUROPE. 



UPON THEM, UPON ME MAY THE GODS BESTOW 

 THE BOON CRAVED BY MR. ANDREW LANG! 



" Within the streams, Pausanias saith, 

 That down Cocytns valley flow. 

 Girdling the grey domain of Death, 

 The spectral fishes come and go ; 

 The ghosts of trout fly to and fro, 

 Persepho?ie, fulfil my wish. 

 And grafit that in the shades below 

 My ghost may land the ghosts offish / "
