THE DRirilELl) AKOLKlt. 1<)S 



Put a little camphor in the moss wherein are 

 your worms the day you angle^ and you will 

 be sure of good diversion. There is one 

 more receipt which I shall mention., and with 

 which I have had great sport at all times : 

 take a handful of houseleek, andhalfahand^ 

 ful of the inner green bark of the ivy, and 

 press out the juice, and wet your mossthere^ 

 with: nothing is better if your worms are 

 well scoured, and kept for near three weeks. 



These are most valuable secrets in worm- 

 fishing. 



I could have added various ways of night* 

 angling, and of means and devices which 

 have been imparted to me of insnaring jfish 

 in the day-time, but as I never made use of 

 any of them, and willing to preserve the re- 

 putation of a fair sportsman, which I trust I 

 have hitherto inviolably maintained, I shall re- 

 frain from promulgating those arts, the prac- 

 tice of which ought to be discountenanced and 

 zealously suppressed by every liberal angler ;
