Like Junius, I dedicate this little Book to 



I did not think, when I wrote it for my Sons, ' away 

 from the din and turmofl of London' (to be laid by for 

 some future time), that I should so soon see it in print. 

 This has been solely at the request of a friend who is not 

 an angler. As I owe no man anything but love, I hope 

 they will temper any observation they may perhaps make 

 on it with the same virtue ; and 



I remain, 

 Their most obedient Servant, 



JAMES LOCKE.
