 him descended the identical Praver-Book of old 

 Izaak Walton, a large octavo, splendidly bound, 

 adorned with the arms of Charles the First, printed 

 in 1637,^ and containing in Walton's handwriting 



' Mr. Bowles says on page 7, " first printed 1637," but on 

 page 72, the date on title-page is 1639.
