Their title indicates their character and purpose, namely, to set forth the "Pleasures of Angling" by detailing some of the incidents common to its pursuit. If they shall afford any pleasure to the "simple wise men" who enjoy the innocent pastime and the quiet repose which no other recreation affords in such full measure, I will not regret that they have been given a form which was not originally intended."
