vi NOTE 



is like listening to the stories of a genial 

 companion when out on a sporting expedition. 



As I think it is quite possible that a second 

 edition may be called for, I shall be very glad 

 to receive, on behalf of the author, the notes 

 of rod and gun sportsmen who may know, as 

 they are at present, the hunting and shooting 

 districts and rivers referred to in this work. 



Our author certainly had grand sport, and 

 although it cannot be so good as formerly, 

 let us hope there is still game enough left to 

 be worth going for. 



The descriptions of salmon-fishing make 

 one wonder what it would be like if it was 

 properly preserved.
