fpeckled of trout, or filver-fided of falmon, in other, though 

 immemorially famous dreams. 



Between the two foregoing Waltons, Bagfter iflued in 1810 

 a fo-called fac-fimile of the edition of 1653. We fay fo-called, 

 becaufe, though the plates are in clofe imitation of their proto- 

 types, and were engraved on filver, in conformity with the 

 common credence on the fubject, there is no attempt at identity 

 in the general getting up of the work. A portrait of Walton, 

 engraved by Scott from the picture by Houfman, is prefixed. 



The ftock of this edition fhared the fate of that of 1808, 

 and was partly confumed in the fire at Bagfter's. 



In 1822, Gofden, the fporting bookbinder, prefented the 

 world with his reprint of Walton, an octavo volume, with 

 Hawkins' notes and biographies, and no other innovations than 

 a new fet of plates, and a preface, not written, we prefume, 

 by Gofden himfelf, who, though an enthufiaftic lover of 

 angling literature, was poiTefTed of little education.
