De arte piscatoria. Concerning Angling for a Trout or 



Grayling. 



[Once in the possession of Dr. Bethune who thus describes 

 it :— 



" This is a very curious MS. by Robert Noble, who appears to 

 have been a clergyman. It begins thus: 3 waies. — i. .-\t the top ; 

 2. At the bottom ; 3. In the middle. At the top with a Hy. At 

 the bottom with ground-bait. In the middle with a minnow or 

 ground-bait. 



:\i the top is of two sorts, with — i. A quick flv; 2. .\n arti-

 With an artificial or made fly. 



I. First of the natural fly, which are to be used in May or June

 which I may add the grasshopper, the most e.xcellent of any."

 each month, the same, and in nearly the same words, as Cotton's, 

 in his second part of the " Complete angler," and the treatise 

 breaks off. From this it is clear that either Cotton copied from 

 this treatise, or the treatise is a synopsis from Cotton's. There
