 are also caught in great quantities in Holstein, 

 Livonia, and Sweden; not less than fifty thousand

 eighteen thousand two hundred pounds. 



Goldsmith Abridged. 



Bream are held in high repute on the conti- 

 nent, where they abound in the lakes, and the 

 fisheries are rented at a high price. The flesh is 

 finer and whiter than in England. They are 

 sometime two or three feet in length, those of 

 twelve and fourteen pounds are preferred for the 

 table. Donovan.
