The directions for making flies, contained in this 

 book, are, as one would expect, very inartificial : we 

 shall therefore only add, that the authoress advises the 

 angler to be provided with twelve different sorts ; be- 

 tween which and Walton's twelve t, the difference is 

 so very small, as well in the order as the manner of de- 

 scribing them, that there cannot remain the least doubt 

 but he had seen, and attentively perused, this ancient 

 treatise. 



The book concludes wilh some general caution?, 

 among which are these that follow ; which at least serve 

 to shew, how long Angling has been looked on as an 

 auxiliary to contemplation.

But to return to the last mentioned work of our an- 

 thor. The Complete Angler : it came into the world || 

 attended with Encomiastic Verses by several writers of 

 that day; and had in the title page, though Walton

t A note of the pious simplicity of former times, which united prayer 

 with recreation. 



[ U On inspection of the/r// edition of Walton, this appears to be a mi- 

 take : the Commendatory Verset, sent to compliment the Author on the ap- 

 pearance of the first, were not prefixed till the second edition.]
