*Ang. 39.43 Franck, Richard. Northern memoirs calculated for the 
meridian of Scotland, wherein most or all of the cities, 
sea-ports, rivers, and rivulets are described; with choice 
collections of various discoveries, remarkable observations, 
etc. To which is added, the contemplative & practical 
angler, by way of diversion; with a narrative of that 
dextrous and mysterious art experimented in England, and 
perfected in more remote and solitary parts of Scotland.

‘*As a specimen of style this book is sw¢ generis. . . . Franck is the 
first English writer on angling who describes that mystical fish, the burbolt. 
There is also an interesting mention of three noted anglers of the 
time, Merrils, Fawlkner, and Owldham, whom some bibliophiles suppose to 
have written three several angling works, since lost to the world. . . . A 
notice of the work will be found in the Recrospective review, vol. viii. pp. 170- 
194, and also in the ‘Censura literaria.’ The extreme rarity of the original 
edition is somewhat exaggerated. We have had knowledge of five or six 
copies.’’ — Westwood and Satchell. 
‘* Franck is the first to describe salmon-fishing in Scotland, and both in 
that and trout-fishing with artificial fly, he proves himself an excellent practi- 
cal angler. His rules for fly-fishing and especially for salmon-fishing, cannot 
be improved at present.’? — Dict. nat. biog.
