102 LITER A TURE OF SEA AND RIVER FISHING. 



and other works, have followed. His Book of the Pike is, 

 perhaps, the best piscatorial monograph ever written, and 

 exhaustive of the subject with which it deals. Mr. H. C. 

 Cutlifife's little book, The Art of Trotit Fishing in Rapid 

 Streams, 1863, is written mainly in reference to North 

 Devon, but is applicable more or less to rapid streams 

 everywhere, and though rather prolix, should be read by 

 all fly-fishers who have to deal with such waters. It had 

 become very difificult to obtain a copy of this book, but 

 Messrs. Sampson Low & Co. have recently issued a new 

 edition. The Fisherman' s Magazine was published in 

 monthly numbers, under the editorship of Mr. Cholmon- 

 deley Pennell, during the years 1864 and 1865, and "by 

 arrangement " ceased to exist when Land and Water made 

 its appearance. Anglers should always secure it when 

 they can, as many of our best angling writers contributed 

 to it, and it is replete with all kinds of fishing gossip and 

 miscellaneous articles of interest to all fishermen. The 

 Autobiography of the late Salmo Salar, Esq., by Mr. G. 

 Rooper, made a hit in 1867 ; and his other works, Flood, 

 Field, and Forest, and Thames and Tweed, contain pleasant 

 sketches in great variety. Mr. Greville Fennell, almost 



better known as Greville F in the pages of the Field 



and other current literature, began to supply anglers in 

 1867 with TJie Rail and the Rod, which gave them a great 

 deal of information as to waters to be reached by the 

 various main lines of railway, which still for the most part 

 holds good. His Book of the Roach (1870) is another well 

 executed piscatorial monograph. 



Among works of a semi-pastoral and idyllic character, 

 combined with that of angling proper, Mr. W. Senior's 

 ("Red Spinner") Waterside Sketches, 1875, and Mr. G. C. 

 Davies' Angling Idylls, 1876, stand out conspicuous. Both
