The first edition of this list appeared in 1861, under the auspices of the Field newspaper. A supplement was added in 1869 from the same source. Since the latter date, the work has remained in abeyance, the edition having been exhausted. Though chargeable with many shortcomings theN ew Bibliotheca Piscatoria was, numerically, at least, an important advance on its predecessors. For bibliographical uses it may be well to recapitulate here who were those predecessors and what their value and importance. The earliest printed list of angling books was compiled by Mr., afterwards oir Henry Ellis.

This list was afterwards extended to one hundred and eighty entries, in a revised issue, appended by Mr. Wm. Pickering, to Boosey sP iscatorial Reminiscences, in 1836. Four years later, Mr. James Wilson appended An abbreviated list of one hundred works on Halieuticks to his sporting treatise, The rod and the gun, which treatise, as well as the list in an abbreviated form, had been originally printed in the 7th edition of theE ncyclopaedia Britannica, and, in an enlarged form, in the 8th edition of that work. This was followed, in 1847, by theW altonian Library of Dr. Bethune, the able, erudite and sympathetic editor of the American edition ofT he Complete A ngler, in which publication it figured as an appendix. It contained about three hundred entries. Finally, in 1856, appeared theB ibliographical Catalogue of Mr. J. Russell Smith, given as a sequel toM r.
