ADDRESS TO ANGLERS. 



DURING a great number of years I have been 

 in the constant practice of entering in abook 

 the result of my own observations, or authentic 

 facts gleaned from sources which could be de 

 pended upon, and worthy of being remembered, 

 relative to Angling, in all its branches ; and 

 I hope I shall be rendering an acceptable 

 service to those fond of the recreation, by giv 

 ing my Memoranda to the admirers of that 

 fascinating and health-inspiring amusement. 

 Should my experience assist any worthy brother 

 of the angle to increase his sport or amuse him 

 at seasons when he cannot enjoy the reality, 

 I shall feel myself amply repaid. 



THE AUTHOR.
