 the stream. There is good pike-fishing in many 

 parts of the water. A few years ago, there was 

 one caught in the vicinity of Bletchworth 

 Castle, which weighed twenty-four pounds. 

 There are fine carp in the Mole, often weighing 

 ten and twelve pounds ; and bream, perch, dace, 

 and eels, in great abundance. At a mill in the 

 neighbourhood of Broxham, six hundred-weight 

 of eels were taken out of the stream in one day. 

 The scenery of the Mole in the grounds 

 attached to Bletchworth Castle, is very fine. 

 The philosophical angler will view the ruins of 

 this once splendid castle, with some degree of in- 

 terest, when he recollects that it was there that 

 the celebrated Abraham Tucker wrote his 

 " Light of Nature Pursued;" a metaphysical 

 work of considerable merit.
