Davy (Sir Humphrey). Salmonia ; or days of fly-fishing, in 

 a series of conversations. With some account of the habits 

 of fishes belonging to the genus Salmo. By an Angler. 

 London, Murray, 1828. 8.; second edition, [with six engraved 

 views], London, 1829. 8.; 3rd edition, London, 1832. 8.; 

 Philadelphia, 1832. 12.; 4th edition, London, 1851. 12. 



[The last named edition was enlarged by Dr. John Davy, brother 

 of the author. Some woodcuts are substituted for the engraved 

 views. ' Salmonia ' ranks high in the scale of angling literature 

 higher we should say, (if it were not for the audacity of the dictum) 

 than it really merits. It lacks the freshness of heart and simple 

 naivete of style that we look for, first of all, in a genuine Angling 

 book. The first and second editions were anonymous. The illus- 

 trations were from the author's own drawings. Sir Humphrey 

 Davy, was born at Penzance, 1778, and died 1829. ' Salmonia ' was 

 reviewed by Sir Walter Scott in the Quarterly Review, 1828. p. 503.]
