HOW TO SPIN FOR PIKE. 



Second Edition, enlarged. Illustrated. 



Field. " Mr. Pennell's views in regard to spinning-tackle, as well as others 

 connected with the art, certainly meet with our warm approbation. . . . His f 

 mode of employing flying-triangles is to us original." 



" I tried to remedy these defects [in spinning-flights] ; but my tackle, 

 though a step in the right direction, was defective. Mr. Pennell's is, I am 

 willing to admit, an improvement on it, and I am sure that no one who 

 used his as I have ventured to modify it, will ever use mine again. I 

 have, as a rival inventor, no jealousy whatever in the matter, being simply 

 anxious to serve the angling world by finding the best tackle, and I am 

 willing to own that I believe Mr. Pennell's to be so. I shall never use any 

 other henceforth." FRANCIS FRANCIS. 



Sporting Life. " The author's chief maxim, ' fish-fine,' is one which we 

 have all along endeavoured to impress upon our piscatorial readers." 



Sporting Gazette. "Unlike the great majority of the lucubrations of the 

 professors of the ' gentle art,' Mr. Pennell's volume is eminently practical, 

 and is evidently the result of careful observation and long experience. 

 Within the modest compass of something less than 30 pages he has contrived 

 to compress, by some process of legerdemain best known to himself, a com- 

 plete manual of the art of spinning, containing many invaluable hints, and 

 a variety of information that will be novel even to the most experienced 

 angler. . . Mr. Pennell is the first who has. attempted to elucidate the causes 

 of the loss of fish, 'kinking,' &c., on scientific principles. . . . His specific 

 against kinking, the bete noire of the spinner, is alone worth ten times the 

 price of the volume. . . A very few casts convinced us of the vast superiority 

 of Mr. Pennell's tackle over any other description of spinning-tackle of which 

 we have ever made trial." 



PUCK ON PEGASUS. 



Fourth Edition. Square 8vo, handsomely bound in cloth, gilt. Illustrated 



by upwards of 60 original Engravings, by Leech, Tenniel, " Phiz," 



Porch, and Geo. Cruikshank. 



Saturday Review. " Clever and amusing ..." 



Court Circular. " One of the cleverest productions of the day, and gives 

 the clearest evidence of the genius of its author in almost every page." 



Press. " We had occasion to speak highly of Mr. Pennell's powers when 

 the first edition of this amusing brochure was published : it has now reached a 

 fourth, at which we are not at all surprised. So facile is the rhyme, so natural 

 the humour, that it is impossible not to be amused. . . . Mr. Pennell is a 

 marvellous mimic quite a Woodin amongst poets. Take, for example, a 

 verse imitative of Tom Hood. . . . This is worthy of Hood himself. Still, 

 excellent as is Mr. Pennell's mimicry, we prefer him in his own vein the 

 description of dashing and rapid movement. He is the poet of the railway 

 and the racehorse. In such descriptions as these, his verse rises to poetry ; 

 his words catch the rush of the steam-engine or the racer ; his metre seems 

 to fly." 



Examiner. " Let Mr. Pennell trust to the original strength that is in him. 

 and he may bestride his Pegasus without fear."
