 first edition we stated that our object in 

 publishing was to show how almost, if not 

 quite, as good sport may be had in clear water

 sport may be had in clear water than in 

 coloured. Why it is so will be explained in 

 this volume ; and, in conclusion, we have only 

 to hope that those anglers who have benefited 

 from a perusal of the first edition will find their 

 education completed by a careful study of the 

 fourth.
