[Collation: portrait, pp. iv, 328, with engraved plate of music, 

 views of Walton's house and of Am well Hill, and cuts of fish, etc., 

 in text. Mr. Rennie was a naturalist, and his notes, all bearing 

 his initials, chiefly deal with Walton's natural history, which the 

 neglect of previous editors made highly necessary. He has not 

 corrected " the errors of the original" without stumbling, however. 

 When Walton (p. 193) speaks of the King-fisher's nest as a curious 

 structure " not to be made by the art of man," Rennie pertly adds, 

 " Walton here mistakes for a Kingfisher's nest, the round crustaceous 

 shell of the sea urchin " !]
