Before concluding my Epistle, I think it neces 

 sary to inform, you that "The Angler's Souvenir" 

 was ready for the press in October last; but that 

 several unforeseen causes of delay, which printers 

 and publishers only can explain, have retarded its 

 appearance till the present timei If the calculations 

 of astronomers and printers are to be depended on, 

 I expect that it will positively make its appearance 

 here about the same time as the comet, and reach 

 you, as a New Tear's gift, about the 1st January. In 

 the same feeling with which it is inscribed, accept 

 it, my dear James, 



ft 



From your loving Brother, 



P. FISHER.
