AX ANGLER'S REMINISCENCES. 



his depth. By this time, too, science had made considerable progress, so that 

 his errors became the more glaring. The praiseworthy quality about Roosevelt 

 is that he seldom makes mistakes. 



The same year Mr. Allerton described the monster trout of Maine, which 

 have been caught of 18-pound weight, in a very creditable book with the rather 

 general title of "Brook Trout Fishing." There were other readable books of 

 the generic type, some of them having high literary merit (Dawson's "Pleasures 

 of Angling" being one of them, and Dr. Updegraffs "Bodines" another), but 

 whose specific value consisted in the acquaintance they made with new resorts, 

 such as the Adirondacks (Headley, 1856), the White Mountains (Prime, 1867), 

 the Delaware Waters (Krider, 1853), the Blue Ridge of Virginia (Strother, 

 1856), the Magog District of Canada (1867), the Upper Mississippi (Oliver 

 Gibbs, 1869), and Carolina Sports (Elliott). Bertram's "Harvest of the Sea" 

 (1866) was valuable to naturalists, containing much new information about 

 Florida fishes. By the close of the decade fish culture attracted increased atten- 

 tion, and we therefore note sundry books on that subject, to wit: "Artificial Fish 

 Breeding," by Fry (1866) ; "Fish Culture for Shad, Salmon, etc." (1868) ; "Direc- 

 tions for Raising Trout" (Stone, 1868), "Domesticated Trout' (1872), by the 

 same author; and "Trout Culture," by Slack (1872). Perhaps a full bibliography 

 of American books to the date last named will assist the collector and interest 

 the reader, in spite of the partial recapitulation, and I therefore venture to 

 interpolate it here as a sort of relay house on our historical tour. I claim it as 

 the most perfect list yet printed :

Hallock's "Fishing Tourist" appeared in 1873. It was chiefly a record of 

 personal observation and travel, which covered all the trout and salmon waters 

 of the Continent, including the Pacific Coast. It introduced the Michigan gray- 

 ling, which thenceforward became such a popular game fish that it was well
