11 DEDICATION. 



tempt to you, I know of none more fond of the delight- 

 ful art 9 none more worthy of the name of a true 

 Angler. 



I flatter myself what is herein written will accord 

 with your ideas in the main, but if any thing appears 

 in opposition to your opinions, we will ( God willing) 

 argue the point in our usual way, while wandering 

 some morning when the wind is Southerly to our fa- 

 vourite amusement and retirement. 



Inclination I know you cannot lack, and that you 

 may have health and prosperity to follow the joys of 

 Angling for many, very many, years, is the earnest 

 wish of 



Yours, ever faithfully , 



John Baddeley*
