98 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 



A little before you and I were connected, I put into Mr. White's 

 hands, through Mr. Gisborne, 3 little dialogues On the Amusements 



f Clergymen. The edition is now pretty nearly expended. When 

 heard last, only 50 copies remained. I could wish therefore to 

 put a second edition into your hands, which will be ready, I sup- 

 pose, by the time the remaining 50 are disposed of. If you have 

 no objection, you .will be so good as to let me know, and I will send 

 you an improved copy to print from. As the subject is rather offen- 

 sive, I do not care to put my name to it, though I find it is men- 

 tioned in one of the reviews. But it is one thing to own, and 

 another to be suspected. Two or three of my particular friends only, 

 Col. Mitford, Mr. Gisborne and one or two more, know it certainly. 

 I number you among them, and you will be so good as say, if any- 

 body trouble their head with asking, that you are not at liberty to 

 tell. You will print it as we agreed about our other concerns. 



I am, etc., Will. Gilpin." 



The little book contains some interesting passages relative to 

 Angling and Izaak Walton. The edition of 1820, while bearing the 

 name of Stillingfleet on the title-page, is claimed by J. G. who signs 

 the preface. It is dedicated to Lord Eldon, by " The author," who 

 dates from "15, St. James's Place, Hampstead Road, 3 August, 

 1820."]
