" Entered at Stationers' Hall" 61 



DENNYS, ESQUIRE. Sir Henry Ellis 

 gives the extract (from the books of the 

 Stationers' Company) in his edition of 

 the poem published by B. Triphook, 

 London, 1811." 



The entry in the registers of the 

 Stationers' Company is quoted in Mr. 

 Thomas Westwood's very interesting 

 "Introduction" to his edition of the 

 Secrets, published by W. Satchell & Co., 

 as follows : 



"1612, Feb. 28th.* Mr. Roger Jackson 

 entered for his copie under th'andes of 

 Mr. Mason and Mr. Warden Hooper, a 

 booke called The Secrets of Angling, 

 teaching the choycest tooles, baites and 

 seasons for the taking of any fish in 

 pond or river, praktised and opened in 

 three bookes, by John Dennys, Esquire, 

 vjd." 



Roger Jackson was also one of the 

 publishers of Gervase Markham's Countrey 

 Contentments, etc. Among other of his 

 works, I have one dated the same year 

 as The Secrets of Angling, viz. 1613, with 

 this imprint : 



"Printed at London by I. B. for R. 

 Jackson, and are to be sold at his Shop 

 neere Fleete-Streete Conduit. 1613." 



* According to others, March 23rd.
