ILLUSTRATED. 



In the preface to the book the Author says: Having always been an en- 

 thusiast wilh the rod and gun, attributing to the sports of the field and stream 

 the retention of good health amid confining and sedentary occupations, I made 

 the preparation of this work a labor of love, and have with time come to be 

 more than ever impressed with the importance of ont-door recreations. Inspira- 

 tion acquired from the woods and streams, and vigor earned by exercise in the 

 pure air of heaven are good for the soul as well as for the body. 



I was one of tin; first to press on the State and National Governments the 

 importance of establishing fishery commissions, and being myself appointed on 

 that of the State of New York when it was created, in the year 1867, and having 

 remained on it ever since, I have necessarily kept up with the times, and all im- 

 provements which have been made either in the science of fish-culture or in the 

 tools and methods of fishing. 



Looking back, and still more I may say, looking forward to what the future 

 will bring forth, I have a right to claim that in aiding the cultivation and protec- 

 tion of tlic objects of the sportsman's pursuit, and the means of his pleasure, ,in 

 protesting against their unreasonable and improper slaughter, and in describing 

 the most legitimate and scientific methods, and taking them, I have conferred 

 some advantage upon mankind as well as amused some idle l^ours.
