 to have been almost re-written, with the introduction of a third inter- 

 locution in Auceps, and great additions in every part. 



The 3d edit., Lond. 1661 and 1664, has titles of both dates, no other 



variance. 

 The 3d edition is the first that has the postcript touching the Laws of 



Angling, and an Index.

The 5th edition is augmented, and the second part added on Fishing for 



Trout and Grayling, written by Charles Cotton, Esq., of Beresford.

Walton's Complete Angler. fSth edit. Lond. : 1760. Edited 

 by John Hawkins, Esq., afterwards Sir John Hawkins. 

 Advertised 27th Sept., 1759, as in the press, and speedily will be published, 

 in opposition to Moses Browne's 7th edit., published in that year. On 

 the 1st July, 1760, it appeared announced as the only correct and com- 

 plete edition, " and the reader is informed that cuts are now added of 

 the principal scenes, designed by Mr. Wale, and engraved by Ryland, 

 in which the characters are dressed in the habits of the times, which 

 cuts, the reader may be assured cost in designing and engraving, up- 

 wards of one hundred pounds. Browne put forth a rival advertise- 

 ment, showing his own emendation of the poetry, declaring the boasted 

 plates copied from the designs in his and the life of Walton, in chief 

 part borrowed from the printed by him." 



In 1765, in May and June, advertisements were put forth of this edition 

 by Rivingtons, with a new title.
