PREFATORY NOTE 



vn 



Fish. They were not Millionaires, and so their 

 lives were happy and contented. They lived and 

 died in charity with all men. 



It only remains for me to thank Sir Henry 

 Harben for the beautiful photograph specially 

 taken for me of the Walton Cabinet, now in his 

 possession. I have also to thank Mr. R. B. Marston 

 and Messrs. Sampson Low & Co. for allowing me 

 to use the beautiful Vignettes which appeared in 

 the Lea and Dove Edition of "The Complete 



Angler."
