THE JACK. 219 



suspicious if not dangerous eating ; but Linnaeus says he 

 saw it made into bread at Lyksele, in Lapland. 



All modern angling books, of course, deal with the 

 jack; most of them very fully. But there is not one on 

 this branch of fishing to be compared to Mr. Pennell's 

 Boole of the Jack. It is an exhaustive treatise on Jackio- 

 logy, and as admirably written as it is exhaustive ; and 

 by every angler or would-be angler for jack, 



" Nocturna versanda manu, versanda diurna." 



I confess myself an old convert to Mr. Pennell's views 

 generally, and am a thorough believer in his tackle, with 

 the semi-exception I have above taken to his pendent 

 triangle in our bait-fishing.
