THE LITEKATUBE OP 1'ISHING. 69 



a work " preparing for the Press," entitled, A Bibliogra- 

 phical List of all the boolcs written either for the improve- 

 ment in, or that are descriptive of, the Art of Angling. I 

 suppose this was published, but I have never seen it. As 

 an Appendix to Piscatorial Reminiscences, a book of 

 little value in itself, published in 1835, is a very inte- 

 resting Catalogue of Works on Angling, " more extensive 

 than any hitherto published," formed upon Sir Henry 

 Ellis's corrected copy of the list which he contributed to 

 the British Bibliographer in 181 1 . Mr. T. Westwood pub- 

 lished his Catalogue in 1861, entitled,^ New Bibliotheca 

 Piscatoria. It is very scarce, and a new edition with 

 addenda would be very welcome. Then, again, there is 

 J. E. Smith's Bibliographical Catalogue of English Writers 

 on Angling and Ichthyology , published in 1856. The most 

 important of recent contributions in this direction is the 

 Bibliotheca Ichthyologia et Piscatoria, by D. Mulder Ros- 

 goed (Haarlem), the Librarian of the Rotterdam Library. 

 It is a most comprehensive work, containing as it 

 does separate catalogues of books in all languages, on 

 Angling, Ichthyology, Pisciculture, Fisheries, and Legis- 

 lation on Fisheries. Those interested in this subject 

 would also do well to obtain, from time to time, the 

 catalogues of Mr. W. Miller, of 6, Stanley Road, 

 Kingsland. He has been known for upwards of fifty 

 years in the trade as a dealer almost exclusively in 

 books on angling. Not many years ago he published a 

 catalogue announcing that he had for sale nearly 500 

 different volumes. The old gentleman is not only a 

 Bibliopolist, but a BibliophUist, and an angler of the 

 old school, who can show many a record of his deeds 

 in other days. I shall always entertain most pleasant
