By Wm. C. Harris, Editor <‘ American Angler.’’ ‘The enormous expense, aggregating over 
$45,000, of this, the most costly and elaborate work of the kind ever published in America, and 
the extreme financial distress of the country during the past two years, has retarded its regu- 
lar monthly publication, but with the renewed business vigor of affairs, and by arrangement 
with the lithographers, the numbers will now be issued regularly, one or more per month, 
Messrs. Armstrong & Co., proprietors of The Riverside Press, of Cambridge, Mass., who have 
the lithographic work in charge, write us: 
Mr. WILLIAM C. HARRIS, } CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 20, 1804. 
Fishes of North America Publishing Co., New York: 
Having completed arrangements whereby we are to make the lithographic 
reproductions of your celebrated oil portraits of fishes for Zhe Fishes of North America, 
we would say that the work will now progress as fast as possible consistent with its high 
class character, and our part of it will not retard the regular issue of the numbers, for we 
can probably give them to you at the rate of two pictures a month. 
Very truly yours, ARMSTRONG & CoO. 
The Fishes of North America is issued on heavy plate paper in monthly parts (size 
of pages, I2 x 19 inches), each number containing two portraits of American fishes, colored as 
in life, and printed on heavy card board. he portraits are painted from fish at the moment of 
capture, before their color tints have faded. 
We have decided to place this work within the reach of every angler in America, and 
will present a free copy of the entire book (40 parts, 80 portraits) to anyone who wiil send us 
five new subscribers to the complete work. he terms are $1.50 per number, and parts I, 2, 3, 
4, 5 and 6 are now ready for delivery, and one part at least will be issued each month until the 
work is complete. It has never been placed in the hands of canvassing agents, and you will 
have a clear field among your angling friends to work in.

ichthyologists and the leading journals of the country. Address,
