[A reprint, with frontispiece, of the tabular conspectus of the 

 " Art," of which under ANGLER, we have noted two editions : 

 "The angler's assistant" and "The angler's complete assistant." 

 It appears to have been a tacklemakers' ware and the first issues 

 were in the form of an engraved broadside.]

[In the Colloquy, entitled "Vertatio," a company of school-boys 

 go abroad into the fields, and one, named Laurence, proposes 

 fishing ; but having no worms, Bartholus objects the want of them, 

 till Laurence tells him how he may get some. The dialogue is 

 very natural and descriptive. 



" Lau. I should like to go a fishing ; I have a neat hook. Barth. 

 But where will you get bait ? Lau. There are earth worms every- 

 where to be had. Barth. So there are, if they would but creep out 

 of the ground to you. Lau. I will make a great many thousands 

 jump out presently. Barth. How ? By witchcraft ? Lau. You 

 shall see the art. Fill this bucket with water : break those green 

 shells of walnuts to pieces, and put them into it; wet the ground 

 with the water. Now mind a little. Do you see them coming 

 out ? Barth. I see a miracle ; I believe the armed men started 

 out of the earth, after this manner, from the serpent's teeth that 

 were sown."]
