98 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 



A little before you and I were connected, I put into Mr. White's 

 hands, through Mr. Gisborne, 3 little dialogues 0)i the Amusements 

 of Clergyme7i. The edition is now pretty nearly e,xpended. When 

 I heard last, only 50 copies remained. I could wish therefore to 

 put a second edition into your hands, which will be ready, I sup- 

 pose, by the time the remaining 50 are disposed of. If you have 

 no objection, you will be so good as to let me know, and I will send 

 you an improved copy to print from. As the subject is rather offen- 

 sive, I do not care to put my name to it, though I find it is men- 

 tioned in one of the reviews. But it is one thing to o-d.'n, and 

 another to be suspected. Two or three of my particular friends only, 

 Col. Mitford, Mr. Gisborne and one or two more, know it certainly. 

 I number vou among them, and you will be so good as say, if any- 

 body trouble their head with asking, that you are not at liberty to 

 tell. You will print it as we agreed about our other concerns. 



I am. etc.. Will. Gilpin." 



The little book contains some interesting passages relative to 

 Angling and Izaak Walton. The edition of 1820, while bearing the 

 name of Stillingflcet on the title-page, is claimed by J. G. who signs 

 the preface. It is dedicated to Lord Eldon, by " The author," who 

 dates from "15, St. James's Place, Hampstead Road, 3 August, 

 1820."]
