PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



C INCE the first issue of this little work in 1877, 

 there have been held three great Exhibitions Berlin, 

 Norwich, and last, the Great Show in London in 1883. 

 The world has, doubtless, reaped a vast amount of 

 practical information from these displays, but it is a 

 nice question whether the Fisheries of the world have, 

 in reality, reaped any great benefit. 



Anyhow, the lines of Fish Culture, so far as the 

 writer can see, remain very much in the old groove 

 perhaps from want of observation, or other causes, he 

 failed to extract much information from the great 

 "Fisheries" of 1883. 



With this brief introductory Preface, the author 

 begs to offer to the Press, and, he hopes, an indulgent 

 public, a fresh issue of his little book on Trout 

 Breeding.
