SCIENTIFIC ANGLER, 



BY THE LATE DAVID FOSTER. 



THIS BEING THE GREATEST SUCCESS EVER ACHIEVED 

 IN THE ANNALS OF ANGLING LITERATURE, 



Mr. Win. Senior (Angling Editor of The Field) says : " I know of no better 

 authority than David Foster." Mr. R. B. Marston (Editor of Fishing Gazette] says : 

 " It is one of the most valuable and important contributions to angling literature 

 which has ever been published." Mr. G. M. Kelson (Angling Editor Land dr Water} 

 says : The many subjects dr-alt with are in our opinion cleverly treated." Mr. F. 

 Mather (Angling Editor of Forest dr Stream, New York) says : " It is a most original 

 and well-written work." 



"THE SCIENTIFIC ANGLER." 

 From "Btlfs Life," April, 1886. 



"The whole of these subjects are clearly and exhaustively treated, and 

 we should say, to use a colloquialism, that what the author did not know 

 about fishing and fish was not worth learning. Then " The Scientific 

 Angler" is profusely illustrated, the various artificial and natural flies 

 being depicted with a delicacy and fidelity that will be difficult to 

 surpass. This very advanced work is not a new book, but a new edition 

 of a well-tried and deservedly popular one. It is issued by Messrs. 

 Bemrose and Sons, 23, Old Bailey, in a handy and compact form, and 

 we can warmly recommend it to all anglers, whether veterans or tyros, 

 for the former will be wise indeed if this book does not make them 

 wiser, and to the latter well, we can give no better advice than to buy 

 a copy at once. For the angler who has read Mr. Foster's book 

 which is the result of half a century of practical experience and has 

 reduced its principles to practice, need not fear to wield his rod in the 

 best of company. As a classic, and for genial talk and quaint humour, 

 we prefer Walton and Cotton ; but, as a scientific manual on fishing, 

 Mr. Foster's book is the best we have seen."
