my Volume to stand so low, as to render it acces- 

 sible to every such miscreant. It is exempt from 

 all practices unbecoming the liberal sportsman ; 

 and being composed of respectable materials, I 

 could wish it never to fall into the hands of any 

 but respectable persons. 



Such is the basis of this Work, in which I 

 may, without presumption, assert, that many 

 desiderata are furnished, and many intricacies, or 

 ambiguities, laid open. To say that my Volume 

 is complete, would be untrue; for I feel, that 

 much is still wanting which should enable the 

 Angler to command success.
