Book of Flies" for stream and lake, arranged according to the 



• month in which the lures are appropriate. Large crown 8vo.,

Field. — " The pictured fly-book at the beginning of the volume is undoubtedly the 

 finest piece of work of the kind that has ever been produced and published in this country, 

 and comes as a revelation of what can be done. The flies stand out from the page with 

 marvellous reality. The illustrations and the letterpress are well matched. . . . We have 

 not had more pleasure from a book for a long time." 



Baity's Magazine.—" Mr. Hodgson's book stands apart from the mass of angling literature. 

 We may not always agree with him ; but when our disagreement is most complete, we never 

 for a moment lose a sense of respect for the author's clarity of thou_;ht, nor our feeling 

 that we are with a writer who is raising the literature of our favourite sport to a higher intel- 

 lectual plane. . . . The ' Book of Flies' bears some of the very best coloured figures of flies 

 we have ever seen." 



SALMON FISHING. 



Containing a Facsimile in Colours of a model set of Flies tor 

 Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales, and ten Illustrations 

 from Photographs. Large crown 8vo., cloth, gilt top. 



Price. 7/6 net ; post free 7/10. 



^//4«««M>«.—" Practice is blended with theory, fact with fiction, or at any rate with 

 anecdote, in a way at once charming and conclusive as to his literary skill." 



Morning Post. — " Mr. Earl Hodgson gives us a worthy complement to the book 

 which he wrote about the Trout, and that is high praise. His style is crisp, incisive, and 

 epigrammatic. . . . No praise bestowed upon the facsimile reproductions of the most killing 

 lures could be extravagant." 



Globe. — " No angling writer has a happier art in relation, and none more ability in the 

 discussion of sporting technique. Mr. Hodgson puts 'a world of meaning ' into a few fortunate 

 lines, and never commits the sin of verbosity." 



HOW TO FISH. 



Containing eight full-page Illustrations, and eighteen smaller 

 Engravings in the text. Large crown 8vo., cloth. 



Price 3/6 net ; post free 3/10. 



Scotsman. — '"How to Fish' will instruct the novice and interest the veteran fisherman, 

 who will find in it no mere dry as-dust discussion of elementary principles of the art, but an 

 entertaining treatise upon many points which have been dealt with rather perfunctorily by 

 other writers." 



Standard. — " You feel sure that his last book has touched the limit of his ability to fascinate 

 and interest even the most amateur of anglers, and then, lo ! there comes another book which 

 caps the lot.' This volume on ' How to Fish ' is splendid." 



Manchester Courier. — " There is no possible point of information desired by the aspiring 

 amateur that he will not find enlarged in this book. . . . The work of an expert, a scholarly 

 writer, and a natural historian." 



Sportsman. — "a charming and scholarly treatise, delightfully as well as usefully illustrated." 



AN ANGLER'S SEASON. 



Containing twelve pages of Illustrations from Photographs. 

 Large crown 8vo., cloth. Price 3/6 net ', post free 3/10. 



Evening Standard. — " The magic of Mr. Hodgson's writing lies in two things : in the first 

 place, he knows how to write, he is man of letters as well as angler, he can make words serve 

 his ends in such manner as to carry across the printed page the scent of heather, the sound 

 of water, the spirit of great open .spaces, and the vivid pleasures which the fisherman knows 

 and remembers so well ; and, in the second place, he most obviously obeys the impul.se of a 

 tremendous enthusiasm which makes angling with him a determining passion." 



IVcstminster Gazette.—" Mr. Earl Hodgson is one of the most attractive and informing of 

 our present-day writers on angling. His latest book ' An Angler's Season," is his fourth or 

 fifth on the subject, but it is as fresh and suggestive as anything which has come from his 

 pen."
