as he pleases, should have a small cabinet of 

 drawers, in which he may keep his furs, wings, 

 &c., separate ; for the constant additions which a 

 provident fly fisher is continually making to his 

 stock will soon render a book of little use. In 

 one of the drawers should be fixed neat wooden 

 rollers, for winding the various coloured silks 

 upon ; another should have divisions for hooks 

 of different sizes ; and the whole ought to be 

 formed of cedar wood, which, aided by the in- 

 troduction of camphire, all-spice, alum and to- 

 bacco leaves, will effectually preserve the feathers 

 and skins from the injurious devastation of the 

 moths ; for without these precautions, the inces- 

 sant attacks of these destructive insects would 

 soon render the collection entirely useless.
