preface to tfje Second (Station, 



IN producing a second edition of this work I have 

 no great changes to announce. I have endeavoured 

 to perfect the instructions as to bottom fishing, 

 though there has been no very striking improvement 

 worth note of late years, and I have striven to 

 simplify somewhat the rudiments to young anglers 

 taking to trout fishing. The size and shape of the 

 first edition was somewhat awkward for the con- 

 venience of carriage, and that I have seen fit to alter 

 accordingly.
