32 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 



1 82 6... Subscriptions received by all booksellers and by T. Bewick 

 and Son, Newcastle." Seven forms of this prospectus are enumer- 

 ated by Mr. Hugo, in whose "Bewick Collector," 1866, pp. 292-303, 

 will be found a detailed account of the proposed work. Should 

 Piscator covet one of these golden links, between his pastime and 

 the famous North Country engraver, let him beware of counterfeits. 

 Two fictitious forms have been provided for the unwary collector : 

 one with an indifferent copy, reversed, of the 'Old angler,' and the 

 other with a bad copy of the vignette of a man fishing, both taken 

 from the " Birds." 



The following illustrations are used in copies of the genuine 

 prospectus : Samlet and Old gentleman fishing on horseback ; Sam- 

 let and Blind fisherman and bull (''Birds' 1 ); Lump-sucker and 

 Herons fishing ; Lump-sucker and Cows fishing ; Dace and Blind 

 fisherman (as above); Ballan wrasse and "Smelling" (eels in dead 

 dog); and John Dory and Pole-cat fishing.]
