[ This work, though in some respects inaccurate, displays a rare 



combination of entomological and piscatorial science. The drawings 



of the natural fly in juxtaposition with the artificial, are of great 



value and nicety. They are on nineteen plates ; the remaining 



plate, used as a frontispiece, is of fish. New plates were prepared 



for the edition of 1862. The Blythe, "A sweet trout-stream in 



Staffordshire," was the scene of Ronald's early experience and on 



the little bridge, close to the present station, stood his Observatory. 



Amongst the midland streams, which he "studied, was the Dove/' 



where Cotton erst hung up the thick-bodied fly of more Southern 



counties, " in his window to laugh at." In the 3rd edition appears 



an announcement that the author prepares for sale the whole series 



of flies and also supplies a fly-case of " new construction."]
