[ In his preface, the author acknowledges his obligations to Wil- 

 lughby. " As to the drawings," ;he adds, " they were, with the 

 exception of two, done by myself... the original prints were done 

 immediately from the life." In other words the drawings were also 

 made (and badly) from Willughby. " In the angling part," he 

 says, " I had the assistance of Mr. Chetwynd, who is allowed by all 

 to have great skill." Thus disingenuously giving his thanks to 

 Chatham/ passages of whose "Vade mecum" are copied textually.
