As the maps will give a better prospect of 

 these than any enumeration of them can do, let 

 every angler have a large one of England ; or at 

 least of the particular county where he usually 

 angles, and therein he may with delight observe 

 the spring head, scite distance, various passages, 

 windings, turnings, and confluxes of each parti- 

 cular river, with what towns, castles, churches, 

 gentlemen's seats, and places of note, are on or 

 near the banks ; making, as. he angles, remarks 

 proper to the nature of each. 



The six principal rivers are as follow: 



I. The Thames, compounded of two rivers, 

 Tame and Isis. The Tame rises in Bucks, be- 

 yond Tame in Oxfordshire, and the latter in 

 Cotsvvold-hills; near Cirencester in Gloucester-
