ADDENDUM. 59 



facsimile reproduction of the coloured natural and artificial flies, 

 hand painted, from the original copper plates. I have, therefore, 

 every confidence that the present edition will, in days to come, be 

 as much sought after as the first. 



In Jackson's days wet Fly-Fishing alone was followed, the more 

 scientific dry fly system, now so popular, being then unknown. 

 But many of the patterns given by him kill equally well either 

 fished floating dry, or as the wet fly. Anglers, too, have increased 

 and are increasing daily, for, as Sydney Buxton, Esq., says, "a 

 day's fly-fishing snatched from the worry and scurry of life is the 

 most fascinating of pleasures, the truest of recreations, the greatest 

 of rests." We all have our particular fads and fancies in the way 

 of flies and in the manner they should be dressed, and, with an 

 enormous increase of the followers of the Grentle Art, there is a 

 corresponding addition to the list of artificial flies, and the following 

 are now standard patterns for Grayling, and good killers, as well as 

 those given in pages 18 to 32.
