PRESS 



the vulgarity, slang and trite quotations which disfigure so many modern 

 angling books, these reminiscences will be read with pleasure by all who 

 enjoy country life and admire the old-fashioned virtues of diligence and 

 contentment ; nor does it require an angler to relish the many anecdotes of 

 Northern life and natural history which the writer intersperses among the 

 fishing experiences. . . . Nothing that is beautiful and of good report 

 appears to escape him when he wanders, rod in hand, by the river side, and 

 it is this pleasant natural mode of interesting his readers which will endear 

 the book to a wide circle of readers. . . . The contents, and, above all> 

 the tone of this book, by far the most important contribution of late years 

 to angling literature, deserves much commendation. The publishers are 

 entitled to credit for the excellent printing, the stout paper, and the 

 dainty woodcuts which adorn the volume. . . . There is no modern 

 book about angling which could be put in the hands of either novice or 

 veteran with greater chances of charming both alike. It holds a copious 

 store of information and anecdote, and reflects in every page its author's 

 kind heart, ripe experience, and soundness of judgment. Like Auceps, in 

 a book which Mr. Henderson, in common with all anglers, must reverence, 

 we close this delightful volume with the words, ' I assure you, Mr. Piscator, 

 I now part with you full of good thoughts, not only of yourself, but your 

 recreation.' " Athenaum. 



' ; If our readers are not fishermen, they will nevertheless find ample 

 reward in the general matter, lively and thoughtful, with which the author 

 has diversified his story of river-side life." Spectator. 



" Mr. Henderson writes on an ever popular subject in a charming 

 style. ... It is, in fact, a choice book on a choice subject, choicely 

 produced, and we congratulate both author and publishers." Piiblishers* 

 Circular.

 Saturday Review. 



"The illustrations display a high degree of artistic merit." Pall Mall 

 Gazette. 



" Gives many capital accounts of sport. . . . An indispensable edition 

 to the collector's library. " Field. 



" A volume in which luxurious typography and the amenities of artistic 

 illustration are by no means unworthily expended." Daily Telegraph. 



" A work rich in humour." Leeds Mercury. 



"One of the most genial, chatty, and entertaining narratives ever penned 

 by a Piscator." Yorkshire Post. 



' ' It proves that a genuine, ardent sportman can not only be genial and 

 gay, and write a book more entertaining than a novel, but that he can also- 

 have ever present to his mind the truest and purest religious sentiments." 

 Durham Chronicle.
