[From the catching of fish to their cultivation is a natural, 
though perhaps inverted, transition. Indeed, no book on 
angling could nowadays be considered complete which ignored 
the latter subject. Let us, therefore, transfer the scene from 
the well-stocked ‘salmon river’ or trout stream, with its triumphs 
and discomfitures, to the nursery-ponds at Guilford where so 
large a proportion of the principal performers were very likely 
born and bred. 
Every year the problem of restocking and replenishing our 
‘fished-out’ waters is becoming more pressing, and unless 
pisciculturists had come to the rescue the question for anglers 
and fishing proprietors would soon have been not ‘ How shall 
we catch fish?’ but ‘How shall we get fishto catch?’ ... Mr. 
Thomas Andrews’ probably unequalled practical experience 
gives an importance and value to his opinions on fish-culture 
which will be appreciated by all who take a scientific, ‘ sporting,’ 
or commercial interest in the subject.—H. C.-P.]
