TO ANGLERS. 



AS a means of furthering the intention of this work, the author 

 undertakes to supply EVERY ARTICLE REQUIRED 

 BY THE FLY-FISHER, manufactured under his immediate 

 superintendence by experienced PRACTICAL ANG-LERS. 



The author is naturally anxious for the extension of those 

 principles of the art which he advocates, because he believes 

 them to be true ; and, in justice to himself, he desires that they 

 may be fully and fairly tested by those who are inclined to 

 adopt them. This can be done only by following implicitly the 

 various instructions contained in the volume, including, of course, 

 those relating to the MANUFACTURE of the different implements 

 required. It is easy to believe that in this department the most 

 minute description must necessarily be inferior, as an exempli- 

 fication of principles, to the BONA FIDE articles themselves ; for 

 it will be admitted that the difference between articles which 

 are really good and useful and those which are worse than 

 useless, is very difficult to be discovered, on mere inspection, by 

 the most experienced angler, and is obviously quite impossible 

 to be discovered by the tyro. 



The author has therefore come to the determination of devoting 

 his constant personal attention to the manufacture of the various 

 piscatorial implements, of which the prices will be found moderate 

 and the quality and adaptation unexceptionable. 



From the list of articles may be enumerated Rods, Lines, 

 Reels, Collars, and Artificial Flies, to which the greatest care and 

 attention are bestowed. Also, G-ut, Hooks, Panniers, Landing 

 Nets, &c. Flies of other kinds than those recommended in 

 this work are also made by the author, on order, from written 

 directions or from patterns. 



Orders to any amount sent, carefully packed, on receipt of 

 Post Office Orders, payable to Mr. PHILIP PULMAN, Axminster, 

 or to Mr. GEORGE P. R. PULMAN, Crewkerne, to either of 

 whom orders for goods may be addressed.
