Blome (Richard). The gentleman's recreation. In two parts... 

 The second part, treats of horsemanship, hawking, hunting, 

 fowling, fishing aud agriculture. With a short treatise on 

 cock-fighting... Great variety of useful sculptures, as nets, traps, 

 engines etc., are added for the taking of beasts, fowl and fish ; 

 not hitherto published by any. With about an hundred 

 sculptures, engraven on copper. London, printed by S. 

 Roycroft for Richard Blome, 1686. fol.; 2nd edit, corrected 

 1710. fol. 



[A fine work but of little practical value. Blome says that the 

 foundation of the second part was " a translation from a French 

 author entitled Le Ruises innocent" ( meaning Lcs Ruses Inno- 

 ccntes) and that he collected all our English authors on the same 

 subjects, Turberville, Markham and others, "and methodically 

 digested the whole into one entire body," taking above four years in 

 getting the work " rectified by such sportmen as were excellent."] 



Boaz (Herman). A new song called the angler's progress; 

 written by Mr. H. Boaz, July 4th, 1789. (n. d.) s. sh. fol.; 

 The angler's progress... (n. d.) s. sh. fol.; then as: 



The angler's progress: a poem, developing the pleasures 



the angler receives from the dawn of the propensity in infancy 

 till the period of his becoming a complete angler. London, 

 J. H. Burn, 1820 ; second edition, 1820. pp. 12. 12 cuts. 8.; 

 Newcastle, Emerson Charnley, 1820, [1824.] 8. 8pp. 



[This was the forerunner of the "Newcastle fishers' garlands," and 

 has been incorporated with them, though its poetical value is under 

 zero. Herman Boaz was a professor of legerdemain and known 

 as "Le Sieur Boaz." The Newcastle edition of 1820 has on the title 

 the woodcut, by Thomas Bewick, of a man angling, used in " Select 

 Fables" 1820, p. 190, which was afterwards purchased by Mr. Bohn 

 and appears in his edition of Walton's Angler, 1856, p. 83. 276 

 copies were printed. It was antedated so that it might be the first 

 of the series. A few of the copies were printed with gold borders.]
