[The angling chapter (pp. 29-38) is headed with the small wood- 

 cut which forms the frontispiece to the " Young angler's instructor," 

 and is identical with the treatise in that work. These tracts to- 

 gether with "Notable things, or, the wa}' to save wealth," 1697, 

 were also issued under the collective title of "The way to save 

 wealth; shewing how a man may live plentifully for two pence a 

 day." Gervase Markham had passed awav long before this tract or 

 any of the publications of Convers were issued. He commenced 

 writing in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Harte speaks of him 

 as the first //(7r/<';/^^' writer in England, "All subjects seem to have 

 been alike to him ; yet, as his thefts were innumerable, he has now 

 and then stolen some very good things, and in a great measure pre- 

 served their memory from perishing." He was the vounger son of 

 Robert Markham, Esq., of Gotham in Nottinghamshire and was of 

 an ancient and honourable family. He had a brother, Francis, who 

 wrote "Decades of Epistles concerning War."]
