[Though the 4th section contains frequent allusions to angling, 

 the details of the sport are merely employed as the pegs on 

 which to hang moral and -religious reflections. "For" says the 

 author, "being really a great lover of angling, and frequently 

 diverting myself at |that sport, sometimes alone and sometimes in 

 company, the accidents of that recreation were the true themes on 

 which the following discourses were not the only meditations I had 

 made." Discourse iv. is entitled " Upon fishing with a counterfeit 

 fly." Discourse v. " Upon a fishe's struggling after swallow'd the 

 hook. 1 ' Discourse x. " Upon a fishe's running away with the bait." 

 And discourse xv. " Upon catching store of fish at a baited place." 

 The ist edition is rare. No name is on the title page, but the 

 preface is signed, R. B. Rev. W. Cotton's sale 145.
