Second Edition. Fcp. 8vo. with Wood Engravings, 9s. 



" A work which reflects very great credit upon the piscatorial research, 

 diligence, and skill of its author, with whom it has evidently been a 'labour 

 of love.' Not only does it abound in racy anecdote and pleasant gossip, but 

 in valuable and curious instruction concerning the finny tribe, and the best 

 method of enticing them from their watery abode. No person who is fondof 

 angling should be without this excellent and amusing guide." 



United Service Gazette. 



" By combining valuable information respecting the construction and use 

 of the several kinds of fishing-tackle with interesting memoirs of the habits 

 and haunts of every variety of river fish, the ' Handbook of Angling ' recom- 

 mends itself equally to the young and the experienced sportsman. To make 

 his work a standard one also, * Ephemera' has very judiciously selected and 

 embodied in it the opinions and practice of several other masters of the art ; 

 and altogether we know no other work where so much varied information 

 connected with the subject can be so readily obtained." Pictorial Times.

 THE SURE TAKING OF TROUT, GRAYLING, &c. 



Fcp. 8vo. with Nine coloured Plates, 10s. 6d. 



" Besides smart, pungent, and practically profound dissertations on the rod 

 and line, this clever volume teems with practical hints, and has numerous 

 coloured plates of 'dainty devices for the sure taking of trout, grayling, &c.' 

 Several of the devices, though of very dainty appearance, will, we are certain, 

 prove of most deadly effect. They are especially suited for the wholesale 



capture of grayling The book is very pleasantly written, and 



beneath a semblance of levity will be found enunciated a mass of sterling 

 information." Bell's Life in London. 



" The style in which this little volume has been written is no less attractive 

 to the man of taste and education than the matter it contains is interesting to 



the experienced angler The angler who does not require to learn 



the rudiments of his art will find in its pages abundance of useful informa- 

 tion respecting the various kinds of spinning tackle, and some excellent hints 

 on beetles, grubs, and larva, with which the author has succeeded in killing 

 6sh when the fly thrown by the most experienced hand would fail to do 



so The hints on angling at the end of the volume are written with 



great humour, and indicate some excellent maxims which the fair sportsman 

 will not be likely to forget." Sunday Times., ,
