Extracts from Reviev/s of “Floating Flies and How to Dress Them.” 
“ This book is therefore something more than deeply interesting, for in its practical purpose, 
no less than in its literary style, abounding information, and superlative illustration, it is a 
landmark in the history of angling literature, and it is not surprising to learn that a large 
paper edition was disposed of by order before publication.” — Field. 
“ We must congratulate Mr. Halford on the very thorough, clear, and interesting manner 
In which every detail of his work has been carried out. and we must also congratulate the fly- 
fishing fraternity on the fact that such an accomplished and practical fly-fisherman as Mr. 
Halford should thus unreservedly have thrown open to them his almost unequalled ex- 
perience. ”- — Fishing Gazette. 
“ The writer deserves the hearty thanks of all fly-fishermen for the able way in which he has 
placed his undoubtedly great knowledge of the art before his readers. We should recommend 
the careful perusal of his volume to all fly-tyers — professional as well as amateur. ”— Saturday 
R eview. 
“ Mr. Halford has done good service to the whole fraternity, and has distinctly added a 
standard work to English angling literature.” — Vanity Fair. 
“ Mr. Halford’s admirable monograph. . . .” — Spectator. 
“No more skilful exponent of this art could be found than Mr. Halford. . . . The gems of 
the book are the numerous delicate engravings, most carefully hand-painted, of the chief flies 
in use in chalk streams. Nothing more beautiful of its kind has ever been published. These 
illustrations are creditable both to the artist and to the enterprise of the publishers. The book 
is simply indispensable to the trout angler in clear deep streams, and will be a constant source 
of delight to him in unseasonable weather. We have never seen more sensible directions for 
fly-dressing. So practical, and yet so much a work of art, is this book, that the difficulty is, 
whether specially to recommend it for the study or for the drawing-room table.” — Athenceum. 
“Nothing half so excellent has ever been achieved before.” — 1 llustrated London News. 
“ Must prove profoundly interesting to all followers of the gentle craft.” — Pall Mall 
Gazette. 
“ The directions are singularly clear. . . . The letterpress is as valuable as the illustra- 
tions.” — The Globe.
