The present " edition has become very rare, and is, on the whole, the most 

 interesting contribution made by France to the literature of angling." West- 

 wood and Sale hell. 



This was the forerunner of a series of works with the same or similar titles, 

 by various compilers. Louis Liger's "Amusemens de la campagne" was 

 founded upon it, and in several editions the first book of " Les ruses " appears 

 without alteration, and with reduced copies of the illustrations. 



The initials used by the author in the title are interpreted : Frere Fran9ois 

 Fortin religieux de Grandmont.

"350 exemplaires." 



" Translated, or rather imitated, from a Latin poem De vetula, attributed 

 to Richard de Fournival. . . . The passage which treats of fishing is head- 

 ed 'Comment Ovide tendait aux poissons,' and consists of 68 lines. De 

 Fournival's work cannot but be interesting to the angling bibliophile, as show- 

 ing that more than 400 years ago most of the modern modes of fishing were 

 practised. . . . The poem was formerly attributed to Ovid, and a story 

 was current that a copy had been discovered in his tomb. It was first printed, 

 probably at Rome, about 1470, under the title : ' P. Ovidii Nasionis liber de 

 vetula.' " Westwood and Satchell.
