%* We have endeavoured to give rules and directions for the 

 guidance of the tyro living at a distance from the means of personal 

 selection and inquiry. Our advice is, notwithstanding any printed 

 instructions, to consult and rely upon some respectable tradesman, 

 especially if he be a practical angler ; in which case " he is sure (as a 

 writer has it) to be an honest man." Several of the principal dealers 

 publish a detailed catalogue of their wares, which will be found both 

 convenient and suggestive.
