A propos de cet article

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1872). (1867) 1872 3rd edition. Small 8vo (135 x 202mm). Ppxvi,482 + 2pp ads and 32pp publisher's catalogue. Sixteen engraved plates, six of them hand-coloured. Maroon cloth, blind-stamped decoration and border to upper and lower board, spine titled in gilt. Cloth rather worn with chip from top corner of front board, one section of pages loose but laid in. A good working copy. November 1874 publisher's catalogue bound in at rear. Two pages of tackle advertisements and a 32 page catalogue, dated August 1872, of Longmans books at rear. The engraved plates are of fishing tackle and flies. Four of the six fine hand-coloured plates are of classic salmon flies, and over 100 pages of the text are devoted to tying salmon flies. Further editions were published in 1876 (4th), 1880 (5th), 1885(6th) and 1920. One of the greatest and most comprehensive angling books. Good section on pike with plates of rigs and flights.

" (From a newspaper article by Conrad Voss Bark). ".in going over the last Edition of this work I have found much more to add, amplify, and explain than I could have supposed possible. Above twenty pages of new matter, scattered at intervals through the work, have been added; a good deal has been changed and rescinded; even the illustrations - more particularly as regards spinning-tackle - I have seen fit to alter and amend; and I have added a new plate of salmon flies, many old salmon-fishers having advised me to do so." (From the author's preface to the third edition). The author notes in his preface that the first and second editions ".sold more rapidly than any other Angling book produced during the last quarter of a century." .…
