Excerpt from The Scientific Angler: Being a General and Instructive Work on Artistic Angling
In printing the following pages it has been the especial endeavour of the compilers to present the instructive and practical element as vividly as was consistent with the author's MS. notes - of which a considerable portion, containing original and important matter, still remains.
In a comparatively limited space every branch of the "gentle art" has been touched upon, though by no means exhaustively dealt with in this, the first issue.
The reputation of the author as an authority upon this national recreation stands unprecedented, and it is felt that a much larger volume would scarcely do justice to the mass of manuscript, wherein is chronicled the researches and experience gained by a long life of patient study and intense application.
The compilers here express their gratification at the amount of interest evinced by considerable portion of the piscatorial public, who, whilst the work has been in preparation, have bespoken so many copies, as to establish almost a complete success for the present edition before its publication. In subsequent issues it is intended to enlarge the work.
