sport : this pond is well stocked with Carp, 

 Tench, Perch, Roach, &c. any person that 

 takes refreshment at the house will be allowed

DAGENHAM BREACH 



in Essex, about twelve miles from London, is 

 a large piece of water well stored with Carp, 

 Jack, Pike, Perch, Roach, Bream, Eels, &c. 

 This water is kept purposely for angling at 

 two pounds a year subscription. 



On Chiselhurst-common in Kent, between 

 eleven and twelve miles from London, are 

 several ponds stored with Carp, Perch, &c. 

 particularly the large pond adjoining to the 

 Queen's-Head inn gardens, which is, or was 

 a few years since, full of Carp and Perch : in 

 this pond I have caught (with a red worm, 

 ground baiting with chewed bread,) four or 

 five dozen during an afternoon's angling.
