OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



GREENOCK TELEGRAPH. 



" Mr. Stewart's work, as a whole, will, like a Murray's Guide- 

 book to Roads and Towns, serve as a guide to rivers and streams, 

 and will open up new views of the science of using the rod to 

 tyros in search of trout and amusement, and to older practi- 

 tioners, bent solely on the filling of their creels. To one and 

 all we commend the book ; not to piscators only, for general 

 readers will also find in it sufficiently attractive matter to repay 

 perusal." 



DUNDEE ADVERTISER. 



" The Practical Angler will, we confidently predict, attract

" The book is exceedingly interesting, and should be read by 

 every one who feels any concern in a branch of amusement and 

 recreation in which nine-tenths of civilised mankind take delight.

 seded by any other treatise of the kind. We shall be surprised 

 if the sale is not as unrivalled as its own excellence." 



KELSO MAIL. 



"We have derived great pleasure, and not a little information, 

 from the perusal of this little work ; and we have no hesitation 

 in asserting that, while to the young fisher its contents will be 

 invaluable, even the oldest and most experienced will feel 

 pleasure and profit in perusing its contents. It should, and we 

 doubt not will soon, be on the most prominent shelf of every 

 angler's library." 



BORDER ADVERTISER. 



" Mr. Stewart deserves the thanks of the brotherhood gene- 

 rally ; and the only fear we entertain regarding his production
