" This work forms one of the marked features of most angling book collec- 

 tions, partly from its merits as a manual, but far more from its rarity."

" The popularity of these sketches has been attested by the sale of seven 

 editions since their first publication. But though the work is admitted to take 

 rank with White's ' Selborne ' and Walton's ' Angler,' no attempt has hitherto 

 been made to illustrate the scenes, anecdotes, and /era natures so graphically 

 described." Preface.
