TWO BOOKS FOR ANGLERS. 



Prime's I Go a-Fishing. 



I Go a -Fishing. By WILLIAM C. PRIME. Crown 8vo, Cloth, 



$2 50. 



An admirable piece of literary mosaic. It abounds in fresh descriptions of nature as 

 breezy and fragrant as the spicy woodlands in which they had their birth. The author 

 has brought to its composition a rare familiarity with the daintiest products of literature 

 and art, a passion for curious and out-of-the-way knowledge, extensive and observant 

 travel in regions remote from the beaten track, and a heart-felt love of Nature in her 

 hidden ways and sylvan retreats. JV. Y. Tribune. 



A very entertaining and equally instructive volume. On his line he hangs all sorts 

 of episodical incident, discussion, antique lore, curious bits of philology, poetry, and 

 story, beguiling the hours on lake and stream with pleasant talk, such as Izaak Walton 

 or Dr. Bethune indulged in. Observer, N. Y. 



It is a volume that will outlive the summer, and many summers, and be as fresh and 

 pleasant and suggestive by the fireside as by the brook-side. Boston Journal. 



Romances as interesting and chaste as ever Irving did. Brooklyn Eagle.. 



The literary skill is of a high order; the style is finished and appropriate, while im- 

 agination and emotion fill out the pictures and give them life. Presbyterian Quarterly 

 and Princeton Review. 



A scholar of more than usual reading, a traveller who has voyaged far, a Christian of 

 earnest and orthodox faith, fond of the open air and all manly pursuits, and sympathetic 

 with the most refined tastes, he purveys in all he writes what is choice to a few and 

 grateful to many. Philadelphia American and Gazette. 



Hallock's Fishing Tourist. 



The Fishing Tourist : Angler's Guide and Eeference Book. 

 By CHARLES HALLOCK, Secretary of the " Blooming Grove 

 Park Association." Illustrated. Crown Svo, Cloth, $2 00. 



Mr. Charles Hallock is one of the few gentlemen who write a book mainly for the rea- 

 son that they have something to write about have something to tell the public which 

 the public desires to know. Mr. Hallock learned how to use the pen in the exacting 

 rounds of a newspaper office, and being a traveller, a patient student of nature, and a 

 practical angler, casting his fly on many waters, he acquired a rich fund of information. 

 The book is called " The Fishing Tourist," and the title is not a misnomer. The short- 

 est routes to pleasure are laid down, and correct information is given as to the best 

 means of conveyance, the expense of the trip, the secrets of the commissariat, etc. The 

 author has avoided the use of technical terms, and thus made his volume all the more 

 acceptable to the majority of readers. Turf, Field, and Farm, N. Y.
