At page 32 is "The Angler's Commandmants." The treatise by Nobbs 

 is stated to be "prefixed" to the Norwich edition, but, as in the others, 

 it follows after. 



The author in his address 'To the Reader' declares that "the following 

 Opuscule, or Essay on Angling, is not compiled from any work extant, 

 but is a plain and candid Narration of Fact, founded on many Years" 

 Experience."
