Press Notices of the 100th Edition of "The 

 Compleat Angler " (continued). 



" This noble edition." Daily News. 



"So well graced a book will be in great demand 

 among book collectors and anglers. It is the most 

 desirable edition of Walton that has ever been offered 

 to the public." Scotsman. 



"There are thousands upon thousands of anglers to 

 whom the possession of such sumptuous volumes 

 would be a lifelong joy ; but for most of them the work 

 is too costly, and the edition is limited ! Let us hope 

 that the copies will fall into such hands only as Izaak 

 Walton would have himself approved. They are 'a 

 dish of meat too good for any but anglers or honest 

 men,' and we can only hope that those who are 

 fortunate enough to place these volumes upon their 

 shelves ' will prove both.' " Saturday Review. 



" It is not merely the finest tribute yet paid to the 

 wide and lasting popularity of Izaak Walton's book, 

 but it is in itself a treasure of printing, binding, and 

 illustration. To the reverent and loving care of Mr. 

 R. B. Marston, one of the partners in the publishing 

 house, and a well-known master of the gentle art, this 

 new issue, henceforth to be known as the 'Lea and 

 Dove Edition,' is due. . . . Mr. Marston's introductory 

 notes, while full of valuable information, are most 

 pleasant reading, and the two volumes are a standing 

 credit to all concerned in their production." The 

 World. 



"A work by which the English printing industry 

 and publishing enterprise of the later nineteenth cen- 

 tury might well consent to be represented before the 

 severest aesthetic tribunal of posterity. For clear-cut 

 beauty of typography, for sober richness of binding 

 and decoration, for lavish wealth and artistic excellence 

 of illustration, it is a veritable triumph of the arts 

 which have co-operated in its production. . . . No 

 more magnificent tribute has ever been paid to the 

 name and fame of an English classic than this." Daily 

 Telegraph. 



" This magnificent publication is second in interest 

 to no predecessor in the long list of editions contained 

 in the 'Chronicle of the Compleat Angler.'" Pall 

 Mall Gazette. 



"This admirable edition." Morning Post.
