148 LITERA TURE OF SEA AND RIVER FISHING. 



Buckland was a voluminous contributor, follows in the 

 same line ; and Mr. Henry Ffennell is now its angling 

 editor. It has recently appeared in a new and im-

 American Aiigler (New York) is a Transatlantic paper of 

 interest to anglers. But the best of the class is Forest

 which deal with miscellaneous sports and pastimes, 

 and include articles on angling, may be mentioned the 

 Sporting Life, the Sportsman, Bell's Life, and the 

 Sporting and Dramatic News, and the Irish Sport.

 Argus, a high-class Conservative journal, is conspicuous for 

 the space it gives to contributions on sea and river fishing. 

 It is from the office of this paper that an admirable little
