TO THE PUBLIC. 



The Publishers have the pleasure of stating that the present re- 

 vised edition of Frank Forester's "Fish and Fishing," contains an 

 entirely new treatise on "Fly-Fishing," prepared by "Dinks," and 

 arranged for this work by Mr. Herbert before his death, as will be 

 seen by the subjoined announcement. They have to express their 

 obligations to the Messrs. J. & J. Conroy, for providing them with 

 the finest specimen of Flies and improved Angling Implements, from 

 which the illustrations have been engraved ; also their indel tedness to 

 Mr. Francis P. Allen, for aiding the artist in preparing the urawings. 



ANNOUNCEMENT. 



I am very happy to have it in my power to add to the new edition 

 of my "Fish and Fishing," the following admirable and most entirely 

 practical treatise on every thing connected with the science of tying 

 and the science of using the artificial fly, by my friend "Dinks," by 

 whom it has been originally prepared for this edition, and who is well 

 known as one of the most accomplished and thorough practical fly- 

 fishers in this country. 



For the favor, I return him my sincere and earnest thanks ; and 



prognosticate for him, from our readers, general and most enviable 



distinction. 



Henry William Herbert.
