 North of England. Pall Mall Gazette. 



* * Since ,good Izaak Walton wrote that famous, pleasant, and ever 

 popular book, the * Complete Angler, or.'contemplative Man's Recrea- 

 tion,' we question whether there has appeared any other publication 

 more to the purpose or written in a more congenial spirit than Mr. 

 Moffat's work. It continues the art, as it were, from Walton ; and in 

 a style and spirit truly Waltonian puts us au fait as to all the most 

 approved modern appliances for the capture of the pike, the salmon, 

 the trout, and every other fresh-water fish. Indeed the book furnishes 

 all the latest information that can be desired, not only as to tackle 

 and baits, but as to the best method of angling for every kind of fish in 

 any water. The hints as to ' fly ' are most valuable. By true anglers 

 the book will be welcomed as a most useful and opportune companion 

 to their tours, no matter whether they be bound for the trout streams 

 of Devonshire, where there* is some of the most delightful fly-fishing in 

 the country, or for those northern lochs and meres with which Mr. 

 Moffat is most intimately acquainted, and which furnish to the angler 

 unbounded sport, especially in the salmon and trout waters. To every 

 brother of the piscatory art we can recommend the 'Secrets.'" The 

 Torquay Times. 



" The beginner will find full guidance as to what lines to use in every 

 possible circumstance. Whenever it is needful diagram illustrations 

 are given." Edinburgh Daily Review. 



' ' There is so much useful information about the material of practical 

 angling of all kinds, that Mr. Moffat's work cannot fail to find a place 

 in every well-assorted collection of books on sport." Inverness Courier. 



' ' The book is so full of facts that we get bewildered as we attempt 

 to select or even to paraphrase as above. The angler must get it for 

 himself, and talk the matter over with Mr. Moffat, whom he will find 

 a good companion. Glasgow Herald."
