 angler, by way of diversion ; with a narrative of that

 perfected in more remote and solitary parts of Scotland.

 now made publick. London. 1694. 1 6. 



" As a specimen of style this book is sui generis. . . . Franck is the 

 first English writer on angling who describes that mystical fish, the burbolt. 

 . . . There is also an interesting mention of three noted anglers of the 

 time, Merrils, Fawlkner, and Owldham, whom some bibliophiles suppose to 

 have written three several angling works, since lost to the world. ... A 

 notice of the work will be found in the Retrospective review, vol. viii. pp. 170- 

 194, and also in the ' Censura literaria.' The extreme rarity of the original 

 edition is somewhat exaggerated. We have had knowledge of five or six 

 copies." Westwood and Satchell. 



" Franck is the first to describe salmon-fishing in Scotland, and both in 

 that and trout-fishing with artificial fly, he proves himself an excellent practi- 

 cal angler. His rules for fly-fishing and especially for salmon-fishing, cannot 

 be improved at present. "Did. nat. biog.
