 If to its dignity, it is most honorable, — 

 If to \ts jurisdiction, it is most extensive."

[ Dr. Bethime says of this quaint and scarce book that " It is an 



amusing account of a very ancient fishing club, founded by a few of 



the origmal settlers in Pennsylvania. In the catalogue are names of 



very high distinction and the association still exists." 



It is the most ancient fishing club that exists, and its founders are 

 said to have passed a treaty with the chiefs of the Leni-Lenape, or 

 Delaware Indians, who granted to them and their descendants for 

 ever, the right and privilege to hunt the woods and fish the waters 

 of the Schuylkill.]
