the following two lines were not allowed by 

 the press licencer (the Vice-Chancellor) 



" Religion stands a-tiptoe in our land, 

 Ready to pass to the American strand." 



But after much argument the Vice- 

 Chancellor said, " I knew Mr. Herbert 

 very well, and know that he had many 

 heavenly speculations, and was a divine 

 poet ; but I hope the world will not take 

 him for an inspired prophet, and therefore 

 I licence the whole book." 



1673. " Reliquiae Wottonianae," third edition, with 

 large additions. 



1673. From a letter to Marriott (preserved in Corpus 



Christi College, Oxford), it appears that 

 Walton was collecting particulars of the 

 life of John Hales of Oxford. 



1674. "Herbert's Temple" with Walton's "Life" 



prefixed. 



1676. " The Compleat Angler," fifth edition. The 

 last edition published in Walton's lifetime, 

 and the first with which the " second 

 part " by Charles Cotton was combined. 

 Mr. R. B. Marston purchased a copy of 

 this edition, and it was from this edition 

 that he printed the Lea and Dove Edition
