ANCIENT ANGLING AUTHORS 175 



portion of The Young Sportsman's Instructor, but 

 since writing the above notes, I have discovered 

 the source from which that work was stolen. 



In 1705, the following book was published: The 

 Secrets of Angling ; Imparting the best and choicest 

 Experiments for taking all sorts of Fish, with Fly, 

 Worm, Paste, and other Baits ; also to know their 

 Haunts, and how to Angle for them in all Waters and 

 Weathers. By C. G. a Brother of the Angle, London. 

 Printed and Sold By A. Baldwin at the Oxford-arms 

 in Warwick-Lane, 1705. 



The angling portion of The Young Sportsman's 

 Instructor is practically a verbatim copy of this book, 

 with the following slight alterations. 



The Secrets of Angling begins : 



ANGLING. 



In my directions for Angling, I shall in the first 

 place notice of our Angler's Apparel. 



i. Let your Cloaths be of dark Colours, &c. 



The Young Angler's Instructor begins : 

 THE YOUNG ANGLER'S INSTRUCTOR. 



He that would be a Compleat Angler ought to 

 observe these things following : 



i. His Cloaths ought to be of a dark Colour, &c. 



The Secrets of Angling does not contain the 

 bracketed reference to The Angler's Sure Guide 

 contained in The Young Sportsman's Instructor.
