 published 1613 and again 1614 & 1635, contains 

 nothing on fishing. Othereda. "Second book": 

 1615 &. 1635.

 ... London, 1614. 54 p. sm. 4°. 



Pre-Linn. 1614.2 



This forms the second part of the second 

 book of his "English husbandman." 'The "art 

 of fishing" was also used by Markham in his 

 "Country contentments"; it contains many ex- 

 tracts rendered into prose, from the "Secrets of 

 angling ' ' by John Dennys. It was subsequently 

 reprinted in 1615 and in 1635. It in turn was 

 followed by; 



Cheap and good husbandry . . . 



together with ... the making of fish 

 ponds, and the taking of all sorts of 

 fish. London, 1616. xx, 182 p. 4°. 

 Pre-Linn. 1616.1 



"Of fishing," chaps, i & II. Other eds. fol- 

 lowed, at least 16 appearing before 1683. 



The "Way to get wealth." London, 1638, 

 and many later editions apparently do not have 

 anything on fishing. This appears, however. 



Countrey contentments; or the 



husbandman's recreations . . . The 

 whole art of angling, etc. London, 

 1631. X, 117 p. 4°. Pre-Linn. 1631.1 



4th ed. Earlier eds. (1611, 1613, 1615) do 

 not contain "The whole art of angling," which 

 is found in this and the 7 eds., 1635-1657. 



An outgrowth of the above works is; 



■ A compleat and experienced 



angler ... or the angler's vade me- 

 cum, etc. London, [c. 1712]. iv, 138 p. 

 24°. Pre-Linn. 1712.1 



This was followed by a number of other 

 works, and by editions of the various preceding 

 books, all of which seem to contain chapters on 

 angling and on the care of fish. 



For lists of Markham's books with notes on 

 their contents, see Lowndes,, and Westwood & 

 Satchel]. For a commentary on "The art of 

 anghng," etc. 1614, see Marston, E. B. 1894.1. 



Markham was the pioneer English hack 

 writer. He borrowed right and left, wrote with 

 ease, and printed his books in many conftised 

 editions. His first purloining was a reprint of 

 the "Book of St. Albans" in 1595 under the 

 title "The gentleman's acadamie, or the boke 

 of St. Albans, etc. reduced to. better form by 

 G. M." He is one of the "old farmers" dis- 

 cussed by Donald G. Mitchell in his "Wet days 

 at Edgewood" (1865.1).
