article which appeared in this journal, that should be given the credit of the legislative reforms

Spectator. "A fascinating volume. . . . Mr. Cholmondeley- Pennell is a 

 recognised authority not only on the nature and habits of the sporting fish of Great Britain, 

 but also on the art of catching them. For he is himself a practical sportsman of great experi- 

 ence and established reputation." 



Fishing Gazette. "We know no work which gives such exact descriptions of British sportii g 

 fish, . . . and no illustrations of fishes which are so true to nature." 



Vanity Fair. " 185 pages of admirably clear written matter. . . . Mr. 

 Cholmondeley- Pennell brings to the treatment of his subject a varied knowledge acquired as 

 an angler, an official, and an enthusiastic ichthyologist." 



Truth. " More exquisitely delicate illustrations than these were never before printed, 

 whilst the name of such an expert as Mr. Cholmondeley-Pennell is an adequate 

 guarantee of their trustworthiness." 



The County Gentleman. " There is no man living better qualified than Mr. Cholmondeley- 

 Pennell to speak upon every variety of piscatorial topic. . . . His mastery of a 

 graceful and forcible style has seldom been more strikingly displayed. 



Globe. " A volume which is as readable as it is informing.

 fish, either sea or fresh water, have as yet been published in this country which approach these 

 either in delicacy or fidelity to nature." 



Manchester Guardian. " Unnecessary to say that the merits and interest of the book 

 are not limited to the pictures. . . . In a supplementary chapter on ichthyology

 The name of the author should be sufficient guarantee of his capacity for dealing with the 

 subject. 



Sporting and Dramatic News. " Must tempt all who are interested in fish and fishing."
