In this should be a small clearing -ring a flat-reel ; a 

 small coffin-lead -, a few split-shot, swivels, and <////- 

 loops, also some rings and splents, all in a folding vellum. 

 A ,/*# /toofo sorted, a card with several colours of line 

 but strong sewing silk wound on it, a little coller's-wax

 vellum, and may lay between two or three strong pleats

 various descriptions, with and without shot, should be

 must let that accompany your rod-spud, butt-hook, land- 

 ing-net, &c. &c. in your pocket, they not suiting the

 secured at its middle to the centre of the flap - t so as to 

 present two points, going different ways - } each point to 

 be equal to about a circumference and a half of the closed 



book,
