ample reward in the general matter, lively and thoughtful, with which the 

 author, whose pleasant and venerable portrait faces the title-page, has 

 diversified his story of river-side life." — Spectator. 



" The veteran fisherman has a kindly sense of the charms of river 

 scenery, and a pleasant vein of familiarity in discoursing of old friends and 

 early days which not anglers only will enjoy. To anglers the drawings 

 svhich illustrate the text will bring back many memories, but to other 

 readers the sweet feeling which pervades these pages will be their highest 

 praise." — Daily News. - 



" Mr. Henderson writes on an ever popular subject in a charming style. 

 ... It is, in fact, a choice book on a choice subject, choicely produced, 

 and we congratulate both author and publishers." — Publisher' s Circular. 



" A lively and picturesque collection of scattered experiences." — 

 Saturday Review. 



" The illustrations display a high degree of artistic merit." — Pall Mall 

 Gazette. 



" Gives many capital accounts of sport. . . an indispensable addition to 

 the collector's library." — Field. 



" A volume on which luxurious typography and the amenities of artistic 

 illustration are by no means unworthily expended." — Daily Telegraph. 



" A work rich in humour." — Leeds Merctiry. 



" One of the most genial, chatty, and entertaining narratives ever 

 penned by a Piscator." — Yorkshire Post. 



" It proves that a genuine, ardent sportsman can not only be genial and 

 gay, and write a book more entertaining than a novel, but that he can also 

 have ever present to his mind the truest and purest religious sentiments." — 

 Durham Chronicle. 



" The publishers have illustrated it with a profusion of full-page and 

 other wood engravings, most carefully executed by Mr. Edmund Evans, 

 one of the best engravers of the day. . . . That the same taste and care 

 which have been expended on the illustrations have also been extended to 

 the not less important matter of type, paper and binding, a single glance 

 will show ; so that apart from its literary value, the volume must always 

 take a first place amongst the ' choice books ' of the day. Mr. Henderson's 

 style is at once fluent, agreeable, and concise, and he has such a fund of 

 pleasant anecdotes, that the reader is led on from page to page and chapter 

 to chapter without the slightest feeling of weariness or satiety." — Fishing 

 Gazette.
