 [ This work, though in some respects inaccurate, displays a rare 

 combination of entomological and piscatorial science. The drawings 

 of the natural fly in juxtaposition with the artificial, are of great 

 value and nicety. They are on nineteen plates ; the remaining 

 plate, used as a frontispiece, is of fish. New plates were prepared 

 for the edition of 1862. The Blythe, "A sweet trout-stream in 

 Staffordshire," was the scene of Ronald's early experience and on 

 the little bridge, close to the present station, stood his Observatory. 

 Amongst the midland streams, which he "studied, was the Dove," 

 where Cotton erst hung up the thick-bodied fly of more Southern 

 counties, " in his window to laugh at." hi the 3rd edition appears 

 an announcement that the author prepares for sale the whole series 

 of flies and also supplies a fly-case of " new construction."]
