This is a reprint of the first edition, but can scarcely be called a fac- 

 simile. " Though the plates are in close imitation of their prototypes, 

 there is no attempt at identity in the general getting up of the work." 

 T. Westwood.

" Some of the types used in printing the first edition are altogether obso- 

 lete. . . . these, as well as the sharp vigorous little cuts of fish, and the 

 very tasteful title-page, have been reproduced by a photographic process which 

 is simply infallible." Preface.

In SatchelPs edition of Westwood's " Chronicle of the ' Compleat angler' " 

 it is stated that the type has been contracted, thus reducing the size of the 

 pages, and that other variations from the original occur, due to the " touching 

 up " process.
