 It is dedicated to ' The Anglers of Great Britain,' and the preface

 CHARLES COTTON, ESQ ., the celebrated ANGLER ! ! Why what an 

 irresistible title ! BERESFORD HALL ! there is something so charm- 

 ing in its sound, that it cannot be described. To an Angler, it is 

 the TALLY-HO of the FOXHUNTER. A soul-stirring Neck and neck 

 Race to the HORSE-RACER. The DOWN CHARGE to the CRACK 

 SHOT. The SOHO to the COURSER. The RATTLING of the RINGS 

 to the FLY-FISHER, or TROLLER." &c.
