ADDRESS TO ANGLERS. 



I 



During a great number of years I have been 

 in the constant practice of entering in abook 

 the result of my own observations, or authentic 

 facts gleaned from sources which could be de- 

 pended upon, and worthy of being remembered, 

 relative to Angling, in all its branches; and 

 I hope I shall be rendering an acceptable 

 service to those fond of the recreation, by giv- 

 ing my Memoranda to the admirers of that 

 fascinating and health-inspiring amusement. 

 Should my experience assist any worthy brother 

 of the angle to increase his sport or amuse him 

 at seasons when he cannot enjoy the reality, 

 I shall feel myself amply repaid. 



THE AUTHOR.
