MY LIFE AS AN ANGLER. By WILLIAM HENDERSON, Author of "The Folk-lore of the Northern Counties." Crown 8vo, with Autotype portrait and twelve full-page illustrations engraved by Edmund Evans. Cloth, top edge gilt. Price 7s. 6d. N.B. — A few copies remain of First Edition, with 68 illustrations^ price 3 IS. 6d.; in large paper , price 84s. " Clear in style and free from the vulgarity, slang and trite quotations which disfigure so many modern angling books, these reminiscences will be read with pleasure by all who enjoy country life and admire the old- fashioned virtues of diligence and contentment, nor does it require an angler to relish the many anecdotes of Northern life and natural history which the writer intersperses among the fishing experiences. Nothing that is beautiful and of good report appears to escape him when he wanders, rod in hand, by the riverside, and it is this pleasant, natural mode of interesting his readers which will endear the book to a wide circle of readers. . . . The contents and above all the tone of this book, by far the most important contribution of late years to angling literature, deserve much commendation. The publishers are entitled to credit for the excellent printing and the stout paper and the dainty woodclits which adorn the volume. . . . There is no modern book about angling which could be put in the hands of either novice or veteran with greater chances of charming both alike. It holds a copious store of information and anecdote, and reflects in every page its author's kind heart, ripe experience and soundness of judgment. Like Auceps, in a book which Mr. Henderson, in common with all anglers, must reverence, we close this delightful volume with the words, " I assure you, Mr. Piscator, I now part with you full of good thoughts, not only of yourself, but your recreation." — AthencBuni. We defy anyone blessed with a taste for fly-fishing to take it up with- out both pleasure and profit ; while all who love English country life will find much to delight them in anecdotes of the animals which most frequently cross the angler's path, and reminiscences of the beautiful scenes where the author has rambled. Its tone of reverent affection for nature as the handiwork of a Creator and for revealed religion, is worthy of all praise. . . . Undoubtedly the best book on angling which has appeared for some y&2a-'^^Acadetny. The veteran fisherman has a kindly sense of the charms of river scenery, and a pleasant vein of familiarity in discoursing of old friends and early days which not anglers only will enjoy...

" In this pleasant and original little book the authoress not only enters a vigorus protest against the bedding-out system and the so-called ' natural ■" style of gardening, but gives very good practical advice for gardens of a different sort." — Gardener's Chronicle. " This little book proceeds from a true lover of flowers and will be welcome to all who take an interest in their care and culture." — Civilian, " A pleasant and unpretending little volume." — Saturday Review. " The charm consists in its author's evident love of her subject. Like a true lover she has gone far and wide in her search for old plants and old plant lore. We agree with Mrs. Foster that the most perfect herbaceous border is one that has an old wall behind it. Blue larkspurs and white lilies, roses, phloxes, and evening primroses never look so well as when they are seen against a background of wall, mellowed with age and clothed with its beautiful garment of wall-growing seedlings. . . Mrs. Foster's book, too, is most useful in its lists of flowers that bloomed in the days of Chaucer and Shakespeare. She also devotes one chapter entirely to quotations from old poets on gardens and all the delights that spring from them. If it helps her readers to know for themselves those authors, who found among the flowers of the garden apt similes of all that is truest in human nature, she will have added a very substantial addition to the pleasure already enjoyed by those who love gardens, but yet are unfamiliar with the pages of the poets who knew well how to speak their praises." — Spectator, " A pleasant book." — Athenmim.

A Classified Catalogue of the Topographical Works in the Library of the British Museum relati^ig to Great Britain and Ireland. By J. P. ANDERSON, OF THE LIBRARY, BRITISH MUSEUM. Medium 8vo, gilt top. Price 25s.; large paper (4to), 50s. " The Book of British Topography is of a kind which rejoices the hearts of all persons who have to do with books ; the kind where a writer condescends to take a subject which he knows thoroughly, which is de- finitively manageable, and which, if handled properly, cannot fail to be a useful contribution, if not to literature at any rate to the state of things which make literature possible. . . . The classification is in the main by counties, . . in their turn subdivided under towns, &c., and there is an alphabetical index of all the headings at the end. For con- venience and thoroughness this plan appears to be excellent. Mr. Anderson estimates the number of his entries at something like 14,000." Saturday Review. *' Few bibliographies are adapted to be more practically serviceable to an extensive public than Mr. Anderson's. . . The extreme value of such a compilation to the topographer and antiquary will be apparent at once. . . Contains. . . an immense number of minor publications which the topographical enquirer is little likely to hear of without the aid of such a catalogue as Mr, Anderson's. . . His diligence and accuracy are beyond all praise." — Illustrated Londo7i News. "The work will be of value to the student all the world over. It will enable him to discover the name of every important volume which has been published on the local history of the United Kingdom. . . We can speak with confidence of its completeness and accuracy." — Notes and Queries. " Both in plan and performance it seems to leave little or nothing to be desired." — St. James's Gazette. " A book of great importance to topographers and archaeologists. . . Beautifully printed and got up." — Scotsman. "This work appears to have been made with much skill and care, and to possess a great interest and value for collectors and librarians in the United States." — American Library Journal. "Mr. Anderson has done a good work exceedingly well. . . Down to the present time there has been no easy method of learning what there is already in print about any place in Britain. . . By far the best catalogue that has ever been produced." — Athenceum. " It is not likely that very much will have to be added to this Cata- logue. . . A solid contribution to bibliography, arranged with admirable method." — Journal of the British Archaeological Association. WILLIAM SATCHELL, PUBLISHER, 19, TAVISTOCK STREET.

" Clever and expressive, subtle and brilliant, and evincing much grasp of mind and of the subject treated The product of a remarkably acute critical mind ; it would bear to be read a second time, and would be found to repay the trouble Ruskinism is an eloquent tribute to Mr. Ruskin."— Athen^um. " Contains some charming essays Displays in a marked degree a vividness of fancy, a wealth of imagery and illusion, and a richness of language, but does not sink into mere rhap- sody or affectation. His style is picturesque, yet robust ; rich, but not luscious." Notes and Queries. " There is much in this thoroughly original and delightful book which reminds us of the essays of the eighteenth century. It is rare, indeed, to find so much thought conveyed in so easy a style ; to find a writer who not only has so much that is fresh to say, but has so fresh a way of saying it. . . .The way of conveying ideas is very fascinating, and has an effect of creat- ing activity in the reader's mind which no other mode can equal. From first to last there is a continuous and delightful stimulation of thought. The book will lead to conversation, dreaming speculation of all kinds, of pleasant and healthy mental exercise ; and it is interspersed with such perfect little sketches of scenery and passages of so much eloquence that it is a literary treat to read it." — Academy. "The essay on 'Cherubino' is a perfect gem in its way Nor is that on ' Chapelmaster Kreisler ' much less worthy of admiration. Lovers of music will be charmed by both of these admirable essays, and lovers of painting will be equally charmed with the essay entitled ' In Umbria.' The estimate there given of Perugino and his environment and influence is masterly. Vernon Lee writes well about poetry, better about painting, best of all about music." St. James's Gazette. " Splendid essays on art. Vernon Lee writes prose harmonies which are finely composed." Vanity Fair. " The essential characteristic of this author's mind is the passionate energy with which he studies questions, investigates his subject, analyzing it in its deepest life, and reproducing it with a living picturesque, extraordinarily powerful style. A completely original and indepen- dent work, which excites and stirs strongly the mind of the reader." Fanfulla della Domenico of Rome. "His former work, ' Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy,' was full of learning and enthusiasm ; but it was not equal, in point of critical insight, to some of the studies united in ' Belcaro.' Vernon Lee argues with great skill and power of style." — Westminster Review. Royal 8vo, cloth. Price 14s. ( Post free.) STUDIES OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY IN ITALY. BY VERNON LEE. CONTENTS : — THE ARCADIAN ACADEMY — THE MUSICAL LIFE — METASTASIO AND THE OPERA — THE COMEDY OF MASKS — GOLDONI AND THE REALISTIC COMEDY — CARLO GOZZI AND THE VENETIAN FAIRY COMEDY. " The learning and fancy of Mr. Vernon Lee have enabled him to reconstruct the life of the Italian musical world of the last century Certain pages of this book quite bring us into the midst of the poets, the composers, and the singers of a hundred years ago The chapter on Metastasio ought to be translated as a whole and should be read and meditated by every one who cares for art and for Italy The chapter on Goldoni is rich in sterling, subtle, and new observation Throughout the volume we are in the presence of a subtle and imaginative critic, of a picturesque and vigorous writer, of one who has profoundly studied a subject in which he takes passionate interest, and who has written of Italy and Italian art with a wonder- ful artistic intuition comparable only with that shown in some of Robert Browning's poems on Italian subjects." — Fanfuila della Domenica of Rome. " Mr. Vernon Lee, if that be the author's real name, has written one of the most fascinating booksjthat it has been our f^ood fortune to meet with for a very long time A singularly delightful and very able volume."--WESTMiNSTER Review. " These studies show^a wide range of knowledge of the subject, precise investigation, abun- dant power of illustration, and healthy enthusiasm The style of writing is cultivated, neatly adjusted, and markedly clever; it has a certain analogy to the styles of other aesthetic writers of the day, combining (we might say by way of indication) something of Mr. Wedmore and of Mrs. Pattison, with a spice of Mr. Pater, and another spice of Mr. Swinburne . -On the whole, it can be cordially recommended as treating an important and little known theme with conspicuous ability." — Athen.eum.

"The new and enlarged edition of an old favourite, the work of 'a. folk-lore student before folk-lore came into vogue as a pursuit,' cannot fail to be welcome to the large and increasing number of students who make this interesting subject their principal pursuit. We have here a mass of material, the accumulation of years of search and inquiry." — Notes and Queries. " So largely increased by important and valuable additions as to be virtually a new book . . . No mere dry compilation, but a store of delightful entertainment which is well-nigh inexhaustible. An index after Mr. Carlyie's own heart has been furnished, with great labour and thought, by Mr. Satchell, to whom the volume thus owes an augmen- tation of utility." — Daily Telegraph. " So much enlarged and improved that it may well be treated as a new book. We have no hesitation in saying, that it is the most impor- tant contribution to the branch of knowledge which it illustrates that has appeared for upwards of sixty years. . .

More than this, it is a delicate and gentle love tale, full of tender interest, and fraught with pretty turns of thought most charmingly expressed. The volume is one which most men will read with pleasure (for it is a mistake, which authoresses are apt to fall into, to suppose that the inferior sex delights in the works of Guida and Rhoda Broughton), because it is one which may be placed in the hands of their wives, sisters, and daughters without the slightest hesitation." — Derby Mercury.

POEMS BY MAY PROBYN. % " Miss Probyn's small and modest volume displays much brightness of fancy and sweetness of feeling, united with excellent metrical science . . . Perhaps we shall give the best idea of Miss Probyn's manner by quoting one of her bright and picturesque pages, taken from the quaint poem called ' Soapsuds ' : — " ' Her arms were white as milky curds ; Her speech was like the song of birds ; Her eyes were grey as mountain lakes Where dream and shadow stirs and breaks. Her gown was print — her name was Sally — Her summer years were barely twenty-^ # She dropped the soap to glance and dally — And then the dimples came in plenty t WILLIAM SATCHELL, PUBLISHER, 19, TAVISTOCK STREET. I praised her fingers, dripping sweet, Where warmth and whiteness seemed to meet, — I made her blush and made her pout, And watched her wring her linen out. Oh, to meet her in the valley. Snatch her hand and call her Sally ! Oh, to find her on the hill, Kiss and call her Sally still ! Oh, to clasp her quite alone. And call her Sally of one's own ! We would willingly linger longer over this charming little book, which we leave wfth reluctance, and with the hope of meeting its author's name once more before long," — Saturday Review, "Very sweet, very simple, and very skilfull. We incline to believe that May Probyn is a man, and a man who is a scholar and has a good mind. Mr, Austin Dobson should be pleased with this his best pupil," Vanity fair. " May Probyn has written the prettiest and daintiest volume of verse, some bits of which linger like perfume in the memory, . , She has a fresh sweet voice, very delightful to listen to. It is positively fascinating to read these bright pure verses. . . . Hers are exquisite fancies, tender thoughts, and a joyous delight in the beauties of colour and sound and summer ; hers too is a sweet melancholy, the fair sorrow of love which lingers in the lines of our old English ballads. . , .

Tmk 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 the *' New 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 Sir Henry Ellis. It appeared in 181 1, as a con- tribution to Sir Egerton Brydges' " Bibliographer," and a few copies were afterwards issued in a separate form. It consisted of eighty works, and furnished some scanty biographical notices of their authors. This list was afterwards extended to one hundred and eighty entries, in a revised issue, appended by Mr. Wm. Pickering, to Boosey's " Piscatorial 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 the " Encyclopaedia Britannica," and, in an enlarged form, in the 8th edition of that work. This was followed, in 1847, by the "Waltonian Library" of Dr. Bethune, the able, erudite and sympathetic editor of the American edition of " The Complete Angler," in which publi- cation it figured as an appendix. It contained about three hundred entries. Finally, in 1856, appeared the ''Bibliographi- cal Catalogue " of Mr. J. Russell Smith, given as a sequel to Mr. Robert Blakey's " Angling literature of all nations," and of which, as we have elsewhere stated, it may be said to have formed the most valuable feature. This contains two hundred and sixty-four works on angling. viii PREFACE. Thus the greatest number of angling books chronicled, so far, was three hundred, whereas '' The New Bibliotheca Pisca- toria " included six hundred and fifty distinct works on the sport. The present edition has made a great stride onwards in bulk, though the numerical increase, in the works registered, falls far short of the same ratio. It contains nearly six times the mat- ter of its predecessor. But it is in method not in bulk that we claim to have chiefly advanced. Knowing that the value of a bibliography depends, solely, on its precision and accuracy, we have endeavoured to set forth the title of every book registered in its literal form, and to furnish those minute particulars, touching printers, publishers, pagination, illustrations, &c., which serve to shew the successive changes through which the most popular angling books have passed, and enable the collector to prove the completeness of the works in his possession. The efforts made in this direction, have fortunately received invaluable help from Mr. Alfred Denison, who placed his unique angling library at our disposal, and during the many weeks, devoted to the examination of his three thousand volumes was ever ready to assist with the knowledge acquired during an enthusiastic devotion of many years to his favourite subject. Such assistance requires our largest and most cordial recognition. Ample, however, as is the Denison collection, it does not contain two thirds of the works (that is to say editions) included in our list, and our labour has been principally spent in searching for other books, the existence of which was all but certain, though we hesitated to insert them until copies had been examined and their titles and other necessary particulars obtained from actual inspection. This latter principle has governed us throughout, but we have occasionally had to deviate from it and to admit works (the existence of which appeared well substantiated ) on the mere authority of our forerunners. Pickering, Russell Smith, Kreysig, Engelmann, Bosgoed and Kayser have been followed when the books described could not be procured. On the other hand, a certain number (included previously on insufficient grounds) have now been suppressed ; a course of severity, that our readers will perhaps consider might have been pushed further with advantage. The earlier pages of our list had already passed through the press before the Denison and another large collection had been thrown open to us. For that portion of our work, therefore, our apologies are more especially needed. It is neither so ample in detail, nor so precise in verification as what follows. PREFACE. ix It will be seen that several works of marked interest and importance are now registered for the first time — the rare Flemish Tract, for instance, on Fowling and Fishing, ( in the Denison collection) which is a competitor, for priority, with our own " Treatyse of Fysshynge ; " the poem of Richard de Fournival ( '* La vieille, ou les derniers amours d'Ovide " ) belonging, probably, to a yet earlier epoch — the Ode of Mr. Thomas Herrick, author of " Miscellany Poems " — and others. Amongst the novel features of our list we have also to call attention Lo the very many early German works now registered for the firsi; time. We have been able to include, among angling wriier^. William Browne, of '' Britannia's Pastorals," Jacob Cats, Michael D:aylon, the unknown author of the "Dialogues of Creatures moralized," Erasmus, Isachius and Sir Philip Sidney — and among the moderns, Walter Savage Landor. Thus we have cast our net with a wider sweep than heretofore — may our readers be satisfied with the draught we have brought to shore ! The editions of Walton and Cotton, which in the pages of " The chronicle of the compleat angler," stood at fifty-three, have now reached the imposing total of ninty ; twenty-one having been issued since the date (1864) of that work, and sixteen having escaped notice on that occasion. If the venerable shade of the Father of anglers could be conjured up from his Elysium ( fishy be the streams there and the wind due South for ever ! ) and revisit the light of day, how amazed would he be (simple soul ! ) at the perpetuation and extension of his fame and at the goodly bulk of our ' Bibliotheca ' — he that counted fishing books by twos and threes ! One thing is forced upon our conviction in this matter — that angling has become a force in literature, greater far than that of its kindred sports. In a battle of books Auceps and Venator would have to retire, worsted in the contest, leaving Piscator dominant. To him who doubts this we say— -cross our threshold and...'circumspice.' The Fisheries and Pisciculture having become important and special departments, we have judged it expedient to class them apart. In our register of Fishery pamphlets we have restricted ourselves to English and Colonial publications, and we have included with these an extensive list of Papers pre- sented to both Houses of Parliament, which contain much important matter respecting the condition of the fisheries in past times, and the efforts made for their encouragement and for the amelioration of the condition of those engaged in them. These papers consist of Petitions, Statistical returns. Reports of Committees and Bills. The last in many, or most instances, became Acts of Parliament, after alterations which it is some- times of special interest to note ; but some never passed beyond X PREFACE. the embryonic stage. These need not therefore be neglected by the historian, as they, equally with the others, indicate wants and suggest remedies which may have failed to find acceptance from our legislators (rom other causes than lack of merit. The list of Statutes repealed, spent, or in force, concerning the fisheries, the preservation of fish, &c., is a nearly complete conspectus of our legislation on these subjects. They show the early appreciation of the importance of this source of national wealth. The endeavours to encourage the fisheries in Ireland are clearly indicated in a long list oi statutory enactments, some of which appear to have been so liberal in their character, that they drew forth remonstrances from the Scotch and English fishermen, whose trade suffered severely in conse- quence of the inordinate bounties given to their Irish competi- tors. Notwithstanding such encouragement and the possession of waters abounding in fish, the pursuit never seems to have taken much root in Ireland. We have added, as an appendix, a collection of citations from the elder Poets, Dramatists, &c., in which the sport is dealt with. To Sir Harris Nicolas is due the honour of this initiative, though only in a very limited degree. Thus his quotations from Shakespeare, were but four in number. We have ex- tended them to twenty-nine. For two or three of these we are indebted to the Rev. H. N. Ellacombe's interesting article, *' Shakespeare as an Angler," published in the " Antiquary.'^ It must, however, be distinctly understood that this collection is not offered as exhaustive, and we trust to the kindness of such of our readers as the subject may interest, to continue the search in the wide field still unexplored, and to communicate the result of their gleanings. We have endeavoured to arrange our entries in the simplest manner. Books are inscribed under the names of their res- pective writers, real or fictitious, if these are found in title or preface. Anonymous books are entered under the first proper name in the title, or failing a proper name, under the first substantive. In the case of books published under the initials of their writers, cross references are generally inserted from and to the title, which is treated as if the work were anonymous. All words not enclosed in square brackets will be found on the title- pages of the books recorded, and where words are omitted, the fact is shown. The spelling and punctuation are in all cases carefully preserved. When the reader finds " varity " for " variety," '' filies" for ''flies," " published " for " published," etc, he must understand that the vagary is due to the author or his printer. The customary sic is never used in such cases. PREFACE. xi We have appended a very copious index to the persons and places mentioned, and, as a further aid to our readers, have entered therein the titles of all anonymous works, denuded only of the particles, A, An and The. And now we have only to perform the pleasant task of thanking those who have given us their aid and co-operation in the course of our labours ; and first amongst such, the owners of libraries that have been thrown open to us. Of Mr. Denison we have already spoken. We have next to acknowledge our obliga- tion to Mr. Joseph Grego, whose large collection, principally of old English books, gathered with patient care, during the past fifty years, and remarkable for the multiplicity of editions and the condition of the books themselves, has been always open to us, and has yielded many scarce volumes, which we have not met with elsewhere. Since our examination of this collection it has found a new owner in the United States. To Mr. Alfred Wallis, of Derby, we are indebted for constant and assiduous help and counsel. His great and special knowledge of the subject has been most generously afforded us throughout the progress of the work, and his choicest treasures entrusted to our hands. Mr. Joseph Crawhall, of Newcastle has communicated his rarest books and given us the advantage of his minute know- ledge of North Country literature. The Rev. M. G. Watkins, besides lending us his books, has rendered us unnumbered services ; and Mr. W. R. Wilson of the British Museum has placed his extensive and precise knowledge of books at our service, and there are few sheets in our work, that have not by his means been enriched with a fact, or preserved from a blemish. Among the numerous American correspondents who have given us their sympathy and assistance, two may be singled out for special acknowledgement : Mr. Frederick Mather, of pisci- cultural celebrity, and Mr. John Bartlett, of Boston, whose admirable catalogue, recently issued, of his own valuable col- lection, forms a choice volume, which many will covet, though few can hope to possess. Mr. Francis Francis must rejoice at the completion of a work, which has caused incessant appeals to his good offices — appeals, let us add, that have never failed to meet with courteous and prompt response. But far above his unflagging zeal on our behalf, do we rate the sympathetic manner in which it has been exercised. The rest we must dismiss in a single paragraph for space fails to give to each his meed of praise and thanks. They are xii PREFACE.

October, 3, 1882 Postscript. — There are 3158 editions and reprints of 2148 distinct works here registered. The titles and dates of 2465 are given from a personal examination of the books, of which the Denison Collection yielded 1685, the British Museum 482, and other London collections 348. We have accepted 104 on the authority of various friends, possessing or having access to the works described, and have taken 187, principally of Greek and Roman writers, without examination from the Museum catalogue. Of the books that have eluded us, we have given, on the authority of Kreysig 10, Ellis 7, Pickering 13, Blakey 3, Russell Smith 19, " The new bibliotheca piscatoria " 21, an annotated copy of the same work 27, Kayser 67, Engelmann 9, Bosgoed 59 and Brunet and the French bibliographers 49. No record has been preserved of the remainder. The Parliamentary papers number 727 ; the Acts of Parliament 341. These are not included in the above enumeration. It may be here added that the first sheet of this work was printed off in February 1881. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Abbondio ( Gio.)

[The Roman writers on agriculture confine themselves to the notice of vivaria, and say nothing on the mode of capturing their inhabitants, but in this Greek compilation, made in the beginning of the tenth century by one Cassianus Bassus, though formerly attrib- uted to one of the Constantines ( Pogonatus or Porphyrogenitus) we find a book devoted to fishing and baits. This is Book xx which has 46 short chapters, extracted from Florentinus, Oppian, Demo- critus, Tarentinus, Dydimus, ^/^., "Concerning fish-ponds and the feeding of fish therein, the bringing them into one spot, the taking of them and the composition of all kinds of baits." Chapter 17 will serve as a specimen : " Take three limpets and having taken out the fish inscribe on the shell the words, ' The God of armies,' and you will immediately see the fish come to the same place in a suprising manner." This compilation no doubt found its way to Western Europe after the fall of the Eastern Empire and the first*edition in the original Greek was Basiliae, Winter, [1538]. 8vo. 'The work had been published in Latin, "J. Cornario medico physico inter- prete," during the previous year, at Venice and again at Basle, where editions were also issued in 1540, and other years. The best edition in Greek and Latin is that edited by R. Needham noted above. There were Italian translations by N. Vitelli, Venetia, 1542. 8vo., xvi BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. and by P. Lauro, Venetia, 1549. 8vo. A French translation by Anthoine Pierre was issued at Poictiers in 1543 in folio ; and it was translated into English by the Rev. T. Owen and published in London in 1805, with the title "Geoponika. Agricultural pursuits." It is improbable that this Greek manuscript was known in Western Europe when the Flemish "Boecxken" (see pp. 35-7) was compiled, but whether or no the contents of the latter are altogether different and show an independent origin. Ever since writing was invented fishermen all the world over have no doubt made notes of their favourite baits.] Best (T.) A concise treatise on. ..angling.

One copy of the reprint by Burn was on vellum and is now in the Denison collection ; four were on straw-coloured paper. One hundred copies were printed. The two vellum copies of Burn's reprints produced £2. 2s. at a sale in Jan. 1843, but two paper copies were recently priced at 50s in a bookseller's catalogue(!) In an "Epistle to the Reader," prefixed to the 1st edition. Barker states that he was born and educated in "Brac-meal, in the libertie of Salop." And that he was there "a freeman and Burgesse of the same Citie." "I am grown old," he tells us, ''and therefore am willing to set forth my true experience that I have been gathering these fifty years." In "Barker's delight," this 'Epistle to the reader"" is transmogrified into an Epistle dedicatory, "To the Right Honorable Edward Lord Montague, Generall of the Navy, and one of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury." It opens thus : — "Noble Lord, I do present this my book, as I have named it, Barker's Delight, to your honour. I pray God send you safe home to your lady and sweet babes. Amen, Amen."" He speaks again of his experience, which, by some unaccountable arithmetical progression, is extended this time, to "three-score years." and he ends by declaring that he takes as much pleasure in the dressing of fish, as in the taking of them, " and to shew how I can perform it, to furnish any Lord's table, onely with trouts, as it is furnished with flesh, for 16 or 20 dishes. And I have a desire to preserve their health (with help of God) to go dry in their boots and shoes in angling : for age taketh the pleasure from me."" The body of the work begins thus: — "Noble Lord, under favour, I will compliment and put a case to your Honour. I met with a man, and upon our discourse, he fell out with me, having a good weapon but neither stomach nor skill : I say this man may come home by Weeping Cross, I will cause the clerk to toll his knell. It is the very like case to the gentleman angler that goeth to the river for his pleasure : this angler haJ;h neither judgement nor experience, he may come home light-laden at his leisure." Barker was the first propagator of the heresy of salmon-roe. He says: "I have found an experience of late, which you may angle with, and take great store of fish... The bait is the roe of a salmon, or trout, if it be a large trout, that the spawnes be anything great. If I had but known it twenty years ago, I would have gained a hundred pounds, onely with this bait. I am bound in duty to divulge it to your Honour, and not to carry it to my grave with me. The greedy angler will murmur at me but for that I care not." The "enlargement," of the second edition consists mainly of cul- inary recipes, and of some scraps of verse, roughly coopered and stiff-jointed. The culinary feature is of such frequent occurrence, that one is apt to take Barker for parcel angler, parcel cook, and to BIBLIOTHECA PTSCATORIA. 23 imagine that when he doffed rod and creel it was to don the white night cap and apron. To this edition of Barker, some commendatory verses entitled " Pleasant hexameter verses," by a Mr. Hockenhull, are prefixed. One of them runs thus : "Markham, Ward, Lawson, dare you with Barker now compare ? " Who was Ward ? The Rev. H. N. Ellacombe suggests that he was probably the translator of "The Secrets of Maister Alexis of Pie- mont by him collected out of divers excellent authors, and now newly corrected and augmented. London : printed by William Stansby for Richard Meighen and Thomas lones and are to be sold at their shop with-out Temple Barre vnder St. Clement's Church. 1615 " This edition seems to be unknown to bibliographers. Two recipes are given in it : " To catch river fish," and " How to take great store of fish." (pp. 138 and 150.) An objection has been made that there exists no trace of Ward's having written any substantive work on angling, but it is scarcely an objection at all in this case, Lawson being in precisely the same position, while even Markham was but a trader in other men's wits, as far as his treatises on our sport are concerned. The three men are therefore not unfairly linked, and it must be remembered that at the period in question (HockenhuU's verses were probably written before the advent of Walton and certainly of Venables) a triad of original angling writers would have been hard to find.] Barlow (Francis).

[ An extremely scarce work, if we may judge by the absence of it from all the sale-catalogues of collectors that have come in our way. There is no typed title. The engraved title consists of a scroll enclosing the above and is followed by twelve plates, the subjects of which are "Hare-huntmg," "Stagg- hunting," " Cony - catching," " Otter-hunting," " Coursing fallow deer," " Fox-hunting," " Feasant hawking," "Partridge hawking," "Hern hawking," "Angling," "River fishing," and " Salmon fishing." Under each plate is a quatrain similar in style to that in the title. Heineken in his " Dictionnaire des artistes," (Leipzig, 1788-90. Vol. IL, p. 138) gives two sets of plates, the one of 6 including title, the other of 7, but these, united, correspond with the above. Bryan, in his "Dictionary of painters and engravers," gives a set of 13 plates, including, probably, as does Heineken, the elaborately engraved title. Strutt also refers to the work as having come under his observation. In a copy we have seen which is probably of a more recent issue, the title-page differs wholly from the above. It is an engraved plate like the rest, but represents a hunting subject, the death of the stag, and behind the group of hounds and horsemen 24 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. and athwart the trees of the background, is a scroll within which the following verses are substituted for the original quatrain :— " The stag rous'd before us, Away seems to fly. And pants to ye chorus Of hounds in full cry; The day's sport when over, Makes blood circle right, And gives ye brisk lover Fresh charms for ye night." Underneath the plate, but engraved also, " A set of prints of hunt- ing, hawking and fishing, designed by Francis Barlow." (n. d.) The plates themselves are divided into two series, numbered each from I to 6. The quatrains associated with them are the same, and there is no other noticeable difference, except that the plates appear to have been retouched.

BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 25 Dame Julyans or Juliana Barnes, Bernes or Berners, to- whom these treatises are ascribed, is supposed to have been a daughter of Sir James Berners of Roding Berners in the county of Essex (a favourite of Richard the Second) who was beheaded in 1388. It is said that she was celebrated for her learning and accomplishments and that she held the office of Prioress of the Benedictine Nunnery of Sopwell, near St. Albans, but as far as we can learn, these statements rest on pure conjecture or meagre inference. The first edition of her Book of St. Albans was printed by the school- master printer of St. Albans in i486.] Here begynneth a treatyse of fysshynge wyth an angle.

For the others (the books themselves being inaccessible to us) we are indebted to Herbert, Haslewood, Pickering, and Russell Smith. We fear that these cannot be accepted without some misgivings : our entry of the edition with the imprint of Hery Tab differs from Haslewood in three places, from Pickering in eight places, and from Russell Smith in thirteen places. It is probable that two or three of these editions were printed from the same ' formes ' for different station- ers, each having his name attached to his own quota of copies.

A prospectus containing two specimens of the engravmgs and printed on one side of an octavo leaf, was circulated in 1824. "A History of British Fishes. The figures engraved on wood, Dy T.

[ The Piscatory Eclogues of Moses Browne are nine in number. Their subjects are as follow : 44 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. I. Angling seasons ; or, the weather. II. Night fishing ; or the nocturnal. III. The river enemies. IV. The sea swains. V. Re- nock's despair. VI. The angler's songs. VII. The strife. VIII. The fowlers. IX. The complaints ; or, the friends. Each eclogue is dedicated to a friend or patron. The seventh and eighth eclogues are not piscatorial in their subjects. "The strife " is a celebration of English rivers, " The fowlers " is exclu- sively on fowling. The author informs us that these poems were produced in his three and twentieth year. They may be accepted as a very credit- able production for so juvenile an age. Virgil and Theocritus appear to have been Browne's models. The first edition was an- onymous. When the second edition was preparing for publication, one of the Eclogues, " The Nocturnal," was printed in the *' Gen- tleman's Magazine," vol. viii. (1738), with the hope that it would prove "an agreeable entertainment and hasten the compleating his subscription." Browne was born in 1703. He became a pen-cutter, but could ply the pen as well as cut it, for by his poetical contributions he helped to maintain the literary reputation of the most popular periodical of the day, the " Gentleman's Magazine," published by Cave at St. John's Gate. In 1723, Moses Browne published two dramatic pieces, " Polidus or destressed love," a tragedy, and "All-bedevilled," a farce. He soon became (we are told) " the lion and dictator of a club of literary wits." At this time he came into contact with Dr. Johnson, and their meeting was the beginning of a friendship between them. Eventually, Browne took orders, and was promoted to the Vicarage of Olney, Bucks. Besides the above works, he wrote " Percy Lodge, a poem," and " Sunday thoughts," in blank verse. He died September 13th, 1787, aged 84.] Browne (William). Britannia's pastorals. In two books. London, printed by T. Snodham for G.

[The passage which brings this book within the angler's ring- fence is the following : — " Now as an angler melancholy standing Upon a greene banke yeelding roome for landing, A wriggling yellow worme thrust on his hooke, Now in the midst he throws, then in a nooke, Here puis his line, there throwes it in againe, Mendeth his Cork and Bait, but all in vaine. He long stands viewing of the curled streame ; At last a hungry Pike, or well grown Breame, Snatches the worme^ and hasting fast away, BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 45 He knowing it a fish of stubborne sway, Puis up his rod, but soft (as having skill), Wherewith the hooke fast holds the Fishes gill, Then all his line he freely yieldeth him, Whilst furiously all vp and downe doth swim Th' ensnared Fish, here on the top doth scud, There underneath the banks, then in the mud ; And with his franticke fits so scares the shole, That each one takes his hyde, or starting hole : By this the Pike, cleane wearied underneathe A willow lyes, and pants (if Fishes breath) Wherewith the Angler gently puis him to him. And least his haste might happen to vndoe him, Layes down his rod, then takes the line in hand. And by degrees, getting the Fish to land, Walkes to another poole : at length is winner Of such a dish as serues him for his dinner." From the modus operandi of the above, we may conclude that Browne was, himself, a brother of the angle. The earlier editions of the " Pastorals " are now scarce, but wher- ever opportunity permits, Piscator should select original copies of such works, rather than modern reprints of them. There is a savour about an old angling book, which no novel revival can impart. Who, for instance, would choose to have Nobbes on cream-laid paper and in elegant type .'' And what true book connoisseur would prefer a "Compleat angler" of the present day, however splendid the getting up, to the quaint little pocket volume of 1653, thumb- marked by dead and gone anglers, and fraught with subtle associa- tions of its time .?] Bruckmann (Fr.)

Possibly it is one of those which the Belgian bibliophile thinks may prove useful at the present day. " Draw a black hen, put into the belly of it 3 yolks of Eggs, and as much saffron as a pease, then sowe up the hole and bury the Hen in a dunghill of Hors dung for 3 or 4 days, till it putrifie or rott, and there will appeare little yellow worms m it. ..It is a wonderful experiment."] Bulger (George E.)

" The author hath forborne,'" he says in his preface, " to affix his name ; not that he is ashamed to own it, but wishes the reader to regard things, more than empty names." Chetham's prefaces are in Diogenes' vein, curt and caustic ; he escapes from the category of manual makers, and takes rank as one of the original writers on the sport. He is indebted, indeed, to his forerunners, but acknowledges it ; he improves on their systems., and calls attention to the fact. He is never servile, nor plagiaristic, always honest, sometimes a little surly. There are said to be two editions of 1700. The one noted above is a paginary reprint of the second. It has a rude woodcut frontis- piece, in a border, headed " The Compleat Fisher," and a still ruder leaf of eight fish, disposed in eight separate cuts on one page.

Tidero having visited several unknown countries, describes the manners and diver- sions of the people ; the following is a brief extract : — "Oh how the fisherman would discourse of his Angle, his Line, his Cork, his Lead, his Bait, his Net, his Ginne, his Leape, his Weere, and I know not what ; his obseruing of time, day and night, his BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 6i patience to attend, his crafte in drawin^^ his baite along thestreame, his dressing of his baite to draw the fish to it, his playing with the fish when he hadde him, his hoising him out of the water, and then what a messe of meate he could make of him, although perhaps it proued all but a gudgin ; but if it were a codshead, his lippes would be worth the licking, and in this was his element, heerc was his study, and in these matters of little moment would he spend the whole spirit of his vnderstanding.

From its remain- ing stationary at this point it probably lacked encouragement. With an amusing complacency, the writer assures us " There will not be found any similarity between the five books of the Halieutics of Oppian and his poem, any more than between it and "The Secrets of Angling," a poem in three books, published by a certain J.

He makes us acquainted with divers miraculous streams and unaccountable fishes — with a certain river for instance " near Harwood, in Bedfordshire, which in the year of our Lord 1399 (a little before the civil wars between York and Lan- caster burst forth) of a sudden stood still, and divided itself asunder, so that men might pass three miles together on foot down the midst of the channel, leaving the waters, like a wall, behind them." And again, of a "river in Judea, that runs very swiftly all the six days of the week but resteth on the seventh, which is the Jewish Sabbath." While, as a puzzle to ichthyologists, he relates seriatim, how, in the year of our Lord 1180, near Orford in Suffolk "a fish was taken in the perfect form of a man." How " he was kept by Bartholomew de Glanville, in the castle of Orford, above half a year, but, at length, not being carefully looked to, how he stole to the sea and was never seen after." " He never spake," we are informed — "but would eat any meat that was given him, especially fish" (the BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 69 cannibal ! ) and also — "that he was often led to church, but never" "(heterodox fish !) "showed any sign of adoration." This work drew down on its author an indignant protest from Ray the NaturaHst, in his preface to Willughby's '' Ornithology," (1678). " Here," he says "I cannot but reflect upon the author of a late English book, entituled The Gefitlemayi^ Recreatmi. For having had occasion to examine and compare books on these subjects, I find that all he hath considerable concerning Fowling is taken out of the aforesaid book of Markhams ["Hunger's Prevention or the Art of Fowling "] and yet hath he not to mv remembrance made any mention of his author : what he hath of Hawking is like- wise an epitome of Turhervill's collections, with some addition out of Latham's Falconry, without acknowledgement that all was borrowed, I doubt not but I could have traced him in his other discourses of Hunting and Fishing had I had leisure or will to compare his book with Turbervill's^ Walton's and other treatises of those subjects. I do not blame him for epitomizing, but for suppressing his authors' names, and publishing their works as his own, insomuch that not only the vulgar, but even learned men have been deceived by him, so that they have looked upon him as a considerable writer of extraordinary skill in such arts and exercises, and one that had advanced and improved them. By the way therefore it may not be amiss to caution learned men that tl^ey be not too hasty or lavish in then- public commendations of new books before they have taken the pains to compare them with former treatises on those subjects, lest they render themselves ridiculous by publishing those for advancers of knowledge, who are indeed meer plagiaries and compilers of other mens' works." Here is righteous mdignation ! But we fear most makers of angling manuals deserve the severity of Ray's strictures to the full as much as Master Nicholas Cox. They are dishonest borrowers, as we have had occasion to prove.

[ One hundred copies, struck off separately with index and short advertisement, of a reprint in the "British Bibliographer," 1812. Vol. ii., p. 465.] The secrets of angling. Rep?'inted in Edward Arber's ''An English Garner," 1877. Vol. i., p. 140. [This poem is also noticed, with large citations, in an article in the "Censura Literaria," 1809, vol. x, p. 266, which was appropriated by Daniel and inserted in the supplement to his "Rural Sports," 1813. Its authorship was set at rest in 18 11, by the evidence of the books of the Stationers' Company, in which the work is entered as being by "John Dennys Esquier." Sir Henry Ellis gives the extract in the edition edited by him in that year. Walton had previously ascribed it to John Davors, and others (Howlett among them) to Donne and Davies. The volume contains commendatory verses signed " lo Danes," and is dedicated by the stationer R. J. to Mr. John Harborne of Tackley, in the County of Oxford. Beloe says of the book that "perhaps there does not exist in the circle of English literature a rarer volume." Sir John Hawkins confessed "he could never get a sight of it." There is every reason to suppose that Mr. John Dennys, who is shown by the pedigree of the Dennys family to have died at Pucklechurch in 1609, is the real author of the "Secrets," not the grandson of Sir Walter Dennys, put forward for that honour, by Sir Harris Nicolas. No date is associated with Sir Walter Dennys, but on referring to a more detailed pedigree from the same source, it appears that his eldest son, Sir William Dennys, " founded a guild in the year 1520.'" We may therefore reasonably assign his birth to the latter part of the fifteenth century, or to the very beginning of the sixteenth. These premises are borne out by the fact that John, his second brother (author of the 'Secrets,' according to Sir Harris Nicolas) left a son, Hugh Dennys, who died in 1559, and at no immature age, since he was married and had four offspring. If, therefore, Sir Harris Nicolas's assumption be correct, we must ascribe the poem to the early part, or, at the latest, to the middle of the sixteenth century, whereas its style and general character 74 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. belong, assuredly, to a later period. Collateral evidence, is to be found in the fact that R. J. (Roger Jackson) in his dedication, does not throw the poem far back, in a posthumous sense, but merely This poem being sent unto me to be printed after the death of the author, who intended to have done it, in his life, but was prevented by death," &c. &c. Had the ' Secrets ' been in existence half a century, some allusion would surely have been made to the circumstance. From an article (by T. Westwood) published in the " Angler's Note-book," 1880, pp. 181-5, the following appreciation of John Dennys' poem may be extracted : " The English poets of the Art of Angling perplex us neither with their multitude, nor their magnitude. To some three or four of them may be assigned a place — shall we say midway, by courtesy ? — on the ledges of Parnassus ; the rest are innocent of all altitudes whatsoever, except those of Grub-street garrets, or the stilts of an absurd vanity. Foremost among the select few, by right of seniority, and perhaps by poetic right as well, we nave " I. D.," who in the cool dawn of the seventeenth century, and when the Elizabethan men were passing, one by one, into the shadow, "sang to the echo," (for he seems to have had no other audience in his own day and generation) these " Secrets of Angling," himself being destined to become a greater secret than any he revealed. His publisher, " R. J." (Roger Jackson) states in his dedication of the poem to Mr. John Harborne of Tackley, that the author " intended to have printed it in his life, but was prevented by death." Other motives of reticence, however, besides that final one, may have had their weight ; some faintness of heart, for instance, and some wisdom of discretion. The epoch was a trying one for the minor muse. The Elizabethan bards, as I have said, were dying out, but the national air still vibrated to their divine singing — the national heart was still at fever-heat, with "Fairy Queens," and "Passionate Pilgrims," with "heavenly Unas," and heroic "Lucreces." It would scarcely have been strange, if a poet un- known to fame, had recoiled from bringing into competition with these and such as these, a simple song of bleak and bream. But whatever the real motive may have been, I. D. ended by closing his eyes on all the shows of this world, if not a " mute," at least an " inglorious " poet, and unconsoled, perchance, by the conviction that his modest rhymes would be brought into favour and accep- tance, at a fitting time. The only contemporary recognition of I. D., that I am acquainted with, is in the " Pleasures of Princes." This scarce tract is com- monly considered to be the transmigration of the " Secrets " into prose. The transmuting process ( for there can be little doubt of the correctness of the general surmise ) was effected by no unskil- ful hand, and without too much sacrifice of the precious metal of the original. Sir Philip Sidney's ordeal has, indeed, seldom been undergone, with so little deterioration. The quaint character of the poem is preserved in the prose version and the passages added ( especially the introduction ) have a striking merit of their own. BTBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. ^5 It is proof of the vitality of Dennys' verse, that it retains its strength, sweetness and savour in its more sober form. Those curious in parallels may compare "The Qualities of an Angler," in the third book of the poem, with chapter 2. ( its corresponding passage ) of the " Pleasures of Princes." It is not needful that I should enter on a critical appreciation of this little poem, the finest passages of which are well known and highly esteemed. Thus much, however, may be said, that, so replete is it, in its higher moods, with subtlety of rhythm, sweet- ness of expression, and elevation of thought and feeling, that even from the angling point of view, we cannot but consider it a notable piece of condescension, and marvel at the devotion of so much real poetic genius to a theme so humble. With the exception of the ' Compleat Angler,' no higher compliment than this poem has been paid to the sport. Subsequent rhymers, indeed, have achieved analogous feats, but from other heights, or rather from other depths — witness the " Innocent Epicure," a polished piece of artificiality, and often grotesque, by force of polish ; and " The Anglers, Right Dialogues in Verse," by Scott of Ipswich, in which the technical and humorous are dexterously enough interwoven ; but such trifling in verse, as these and other poems of their kind display, is not to be confounded for an instant with the art and heart-work of John Dennys, ( the Angler's " Glorious John " ) who could not have been more in earnest, had he sung of men and angels ; who drapes him- self in his singing robes on the very threshold of his theme, as by an assured vocation, and only doffs them with his ultimate line : — " And now we are arived at the last. In wished harbour where we meane to rest ; And make an end of this our journey past ; Here then in quiet roade I think it best We strike our sailes and stedfast Anchor cast, For now the sunne low setteth in the west." And " in quiet roade," in the grey old aisle of Pucklechurch, the poet sleeps his sleep, not too far distant from his beloved Boyd, that with " crooked winding way," past cliff" and meadow, " Its mother Avon runneth soft to seek."] Dabry de Thiersant (Pierre).

Paris, Aubry, 1 861. 12°. [ Translated, or rather, imitated from a Latin poem De Vettild, attributed to Richard de Fournival, and supposed to have been written in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The translator, Jean Lefevre, was born in the early part of the fourteenth century, at Rassons-sur-Matz. His work, until recently, only existed in MS. (of which there are two copies in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris): but has now been included by Aubry in his "Tresor des pieces rares ou incdites." The passage in '' La Vieille," which treats of fishing IS headed "Comment Ovide tendait aux Poissons," and consists of 68 lines. De Fournival's work cannot but be interesting to the angling bibliophile, as showing that more than four hundred years ago ( and probably about a hundred and fifty years before the date of the " Book of St. Atoans,") most of the modern modes of fishing were practised ; for instance : the worm, the fly, the torch and spear, the night-line, tl^e eel-basket and fork, etc. The poem was formerly attributed to Ovid and a story was cur- rent that a copy had been discovered in his tomb.

As the subject is rather offen- sive, I do not care to put my name to it, though I find it is men- tioned in one of the reviews. But it is one thing to own, and another to be suspected. Two or three of my particular friends only, Col. Mitford, Mr. Gisborne and one or two more, know it certainly.

It contains abundant proof, however, that in the Academy of Anghng its author had taken a high degree, and that he could use the rod, on an occasion, for other whippings than those of pool and stream, his flagellation of " honest Izaac " gives smarting evidence. This latter insult no contemporary voice was raised to vindicate, but Time, with its "revenges," has wrought out an ample and emphatic atonement. Franck is the first English writer on angling who describes that mystical fish, the burbolt (see page 279 of the original work, and 330 of the reprint). "To search for him in Trent," says he " striving against a stream, is like to Queen Elizabeth's Scogen, that at the sun's meridian (with a candle and lanthorn), sought up and down for an honest man." There is also an interesting mention, in " Northern Memoirs," page 37 of the preface, and again page 177 of the work (reprint), of three noted anglers of the time, Merrils, Fawlkner and Owldham, whom some bibliophiles suppose to have written three several angling works, since lost to the world. Others, on the contrary, incline to the belief, that, in the passages in question, Franck merely intended to set up an antithesis (touching the comparative merits of tuition) between the speculative book-writing angler, on the one hand, and the practical, experienced wielder of the rod, innocent of ink, but well up to all the devices of the sport, on the other. He speaks of "collections and manuals," it is true, but there is nothing to show that these were more than the occasional memoranda which that class of men are in the habit of jotting down, for their private guidance, — while of Owldham he says distinctly, that his "Collec- tions and experiments were lost with himself." A notice of the work will be found in the " Retrospective Review," vol. viii. pp. 170-194, and also in the "Censura Literaria." The extreme rarity of the original edition is somewhat exaggerated.

At page 14 the author alludes to barbel frequenting London Bridge, and his "Method of fishing in Hackney River," is preluded thus : "Then go to Mother Gibert's, at the Flower de Luce at Clapton, near Hackney, and whilst you are drinkmg a pot of ale bid the maid make you two or three pennyworth of ground-bait, and some paste (which they do very neatly and well.)" At page 40, he adds, " There is an excellent stand in the second meadow on the left hand, be- yond the ferry, under a willow tree, in the midst of the meddow, by the water side." Amongst the necessary equipments of an angler he recommends, "A good coat for, all weather; an apron to put your ground-bait, stones and paste in ; a basket to put your fish in ; a neat rod of about 4 foot long, in several pieces one within another ;... and, if you have a boy to go along with you, a good neat's tongue and a bottle of Canary should not be wanting : to the enjoyment of which I leave you."

[In the editions edited by Markham, seven or eight pages on angling are added to the brief treatise on fish-ponds of the original work. Piscinarius disappears, but in the other parts of the book the interlocutors remain as in former editions. Sir Harris Nicolas, in his biography ot" Walton, says, ''There is so much resemblance between many passages of \Valton\s work and Heresbachius' Hus- bandry, by Googe, which was first printed in 1577, as to render it probable he was indebted to that work for some of liis ideas." This may have been the case; but the "Compleat Angler" is more closely allied, in the mechanism, at least, to the " De venatione, aucupio et piscatione." This work was the fruits of its author's leisure, and was written at his country house during his occasional retirement from the exigencies of his life at court. It consists of a dialogue, in which the interlocutors bear names significative of their different vocations. Philothcrtis opens the conversation with an eulogium of the sport of hunting. Lagiis follows and discants on the pastime of hunting the hare, the fo.x, the badger and the ('eer. Elaphovrous passes in review the chase of the stag, the wild boar, etc. Halieus takes the greatest share in the colloquy, and treats of the different modes of fishing, and the various kinds of fish. The close parallel between the outer form of the above and Walton's Angler must be evident enough. Barnaby Googe's translation of the " Foure bookes of husbandry" is very quaint, poetical and charming. Googe was a poet by voca- tion, and the author of " Eclogs, Epitaphes, and Sonnettes, newly written,'' 1563, of which only three copies are known to exist. He also produced other works, original and translated, among the latter a translation of the "Regnum Papisticum" of Naogeorgus, recently reprinted at the Chiswick Press, by Mr. R. C. Hope, (with memoir of Googe), from the only perfect copy which is known.

[ This book is one of the worst instances of literary appropriation on record. It was palmed off on Gosden, the sporting bookseller, whose portrait "engraved from a painting bv A. Cooper, A. R. A." is prefixed. He paid ;^30 for the copyright and also printed a single copv on vellum at an expense of £\o for the vellum alone, as he, himself, states in a MS. noie to Higgs' sale-catalogue. That Lathy foresaw the possibility of detection, may be interred from the deprecatory character of his preface, and the prudent modesty with which he speaks of himself as "author, editor, or compiler, or whatever other appellation critical jugdment shall be pleased to bestow on me." The only appellation he could claim of right, need not be suggested here. "'The anglers, in eight dialogues," attri- buted to Dr. Scott of Ipswich is transported bodily into Lathy 's book, with a few substitutions and modifications, and the suppres- sion of the interlocutors. What is Lathy s own, or, rather, what is not Scott's, in the work, may be found, for the most part in the openings and endings of the different cantos, and, generally, in the descriptive, didactic and devotional passages, the vapid character and lame versification of which dove-tail ill with Scott's more terse and vigorous lines. Lathy's chief end and aim (besides his dis- honest winnings) seems to have been, as he indeed avows in his preface, to further what he rather oddly calls " The union of the sexes in the sport" ai,d on this ground he apostrophises the fair sex in gen- eral, and Col. Thornton, in particular, in a most enthusiastic strain. In Canto x, having exhausted Scott's poem. Lathy has to fall back on his own resources, which do not carry him beyond a few dozen feeble lines. He winds up, characteristically, with a plag- iarism (of course unacknowleged) of Walton's "Angler's wish," the quaint, crisp lines of which he submits to the cruel process of decasyllabic stretching. Besides the vellum copy, alluded to above, twenty copies were printed on thick and large paper.

"Your tackling being ready, go to the river and find a place (if you can) that is between two or three yards in depth, near the bank, that hath a gravelly or indiflerent smooth bottom. Cast in half your grains by handfulls, having first dipped the bag in the water to wet them. Now when you happen to catch more Dace and Shallows and Roches than you can spend while they are sweet, you may give the rest to the poor, taking King Zebulon for your example ; who saith (according as I find it written in the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs), I fished for my Father's Household, till we came into Egypt ; and for pity's sake I gave of my fishing to every stranger that I met with ; if there were foreigner born, or any aged person, I boiled my fish and dressed it well, according to every man's need, and carried it to them, comforting them, and having compassion. And therefore God made me to catch much fish." Again : " Having cast into the River half the grains, and an hour being past, you have no bites of good Roches, you may conclude either the season is not good, or there are Perch or Pike there. Then go to some other place to angb for Roches ; if you had baited the place when you came first to the river, the better. Honest angler, as often as thou art weary, meditate on these verses : ' Cease then my soul to dote on or admire This splendid world which is reserv'd for fire. Decline the company of sinners here. As thou wouldst not be shackled with them there.' " Also : "When you have done angling, go and see if a pike hath swallowed the Roche, the bait, and if you perceive he is not a little one, draw him very gently towards you, and when he sees you, away he flies; let go, and give him all the line you can, then draw him gently again to tire him. When he is weary you may easily draw him to the bank-side and take him.

It begins thus: 3 waies. — i. At the top ; 2. At the bottom ; 3. In the middle. At the top with a fly. At the bottom with ground-bait. In the middle with a minnow or ground-bait. At the top is of two sorts, with — i. A quick fly; 2. An arti- ficial fly. At the bottom is of two sorts i. By hand ; 2. Or with a float. For the middle is of two sorts i. With a minnow for a trout ; 2. Or with a ground-bait for a grayling or omber, vulgo oummdr. Of fly-fishing at the top i. With a natural fly ; 2. With an artificial or made fly. I. First of the natural fly, which are to be used in May or June only, namely, the greendrake, the stone-fly, and the chamlet-fly, to which I may add the grasshopper, the most excellent of any." After this follows " 2. With an artificial or made fly you are to angle with a line (or tawm), i&c."

The paper following it, as far as can be judged, seems to be later, though in the same handwriting. There is also in the same book a baptismal record of Rob. Noble's children, the first date of which is 1669, the last 1701, with other papers. These throw uncertainty upon the date of the treatise ; but if it be older than Cotton's work it accounts for the rapidity with which Cotton pi-epared his essay ; the details on iiv-fishing being thus ready to his hand. There aie variations, slight indeed, but marked, from Cotton's book, which make the treatise, to my eye, appear more like an original than a copy. It was purchased from Wm.

["From the circumstance," says Sir Henry Ellis in liis ' List of angling books,' 181 1, "of the author of this work signing himself M. A. at the end of his verses ' On the Antiquitie and Invention of Fishing,' and from the commendatory verses by Cambridge men in the first edition of this work — I suspect him to have been the Robert Nobbes, mentioned in Bishop Kennet's manuscript collec- tion, as holding the vicarages of Apelthorp and Wood-Newton, in Northamptonshire, in 1676. I believe he succeeded Dr. Robert South." Nobbes is commonly called " The father of trollers," but from this honorific title, we are by no means to infer that he was the earliest writer on that branch of the sport. He was the earliest, indeed, that discoursed at large, and in a substantial shape, on it, the earliest authoritative professor, but Venables preceded him and also Walton, Barker, and Master Leonard Mascall discoursed of trolling in his " Booke of Fishing with Hooke and Line" in 1590. We may add to the antecedent list Blagrave, (1669), Gilbert, (1676), and J. S[mith], (1684), all writers on trolling. On the Continent we have Gesner of Zurich ( De piscium naturd) 1558, and Aldro- vandi of Bologna ( Historia PiscmmJ 1613 ; also Fortin, the Monk of Grammont and so-called 'Solitaire Inventif,' who touches on trolling in his " Ruses hmocentes," (chap. 24) and was followed by other French angling authors. Amongst writers on trolling in mor.J recent times, we may mention J. S. of the " hinocent Epi- cure," 1697; John Whitney, in his "Genteel Recreation," 1700; ,R.

It is in this publication, as far as our knowledge extends, that we first meet with the statement that the trout (trota) pair in the months of July and August, and that the conjugal union seems to be cemented by a powerful sympathy and affection. This writer likewise states the fact, well ascertained by modern observers, that there is a regular kind of domestic gov- ernment maintained among this class of fish, the largest apparently assuming supreme and despotic authority. ..The Itahan author is somewhat at a loss to divine, etc!' After this circumstantial state^ BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 163 ment our readers will be surprised to learn that the " Alceo " is a play in five acts and in verse ; that it is a love story of the most romantic kind in the style of Tasso's 'Aminta,' the pastoral characters being replaced by fishers ; and that the allusions to the occupations of the interlocutors are of the slightest and most cur- sory nature.

[ A translation in heroic verse by Mr. Draper and Mr. J. Jones, both of Balliol College, The original work contains 3500 lines, divided into five books, of which the first two treat of the natural history of fishes and the others of the art of fishing. Oppian composed this poem in the island of Melita, whither he had been banished by the Emperor Severus. He presented it to Severus or more probably to his son Caracalla, who was so much pleased that the poet was recalled from exile and presented with a gold piece for each verse that it contained. Schneider has disposed of the supposition that the " Cynegetica " was written by the same author. The " Halieutics " is much superior in style and poetical embellishment. It contains much fable and absurdity together with considerable zoological knowledge. Julius Scaliger pronounced Oppian " the most perfect writer among the Greeks," and Sir Thomas Browne has expressed his wonder "that his elegant lines should be so much neglected." There appear to have been several other Greek writers on fishing whose works have perished, and an interesting passage in Athenaeus, ( Deipnosophistai, epitome of Book i. cap. 22), may be here quoted respecting them. Homer, he says "compares the companions of Ulysses, who were seized by Sylla, to fish caught with a long rod and thrown out of doors, and he speaks more accurately concerning this act than those who have written poems or treatises professedly on the subject. I refer to Caecihus of Argos, and Numenius of Heraclea, and Pancrates, the Arcadian and Posidonius the Corinthian and Oppianus the Cicilian who lived a short time ago ; for we know all of these men as writers of heroic poems about fishing. And of prose essayists on the subject we have Seleucus of Tarsus, and Leonidas of Byzan- tium and Agothocles of Atracia."

[ A copy of this ballad is in the Roxbursrhe collection (vol. iii., nos. 232. 233.) now preserved in the British Museum, where the conjectural date of 1660 is assigned to it in the catalogue. The two parts contain eleven verses, and the first part is headed with the woodcut which forms the frontispiece to the first, second and fourth editions of J. D's '' Secrets of angling." This last edition was issued in 1652 by Francis Coles of the "Old Bayley," whose name is upon the ballad. ( The earliest ballad with a date in the Rox- burghe collection, on which the above four names appear conjointly, was issued in 1655.) Mr. John Payne Collier thinks that this was probably the original publication, and adds, "It is doubtful whether the ballad is oMer than the date of the first impression of Walton's 'Angler,' in 1653. Fhe hours of business on the Royal Exchange is stated in it to be ' twixt twelve and one,' whereas in the latter end of the reign of Elizabeth and in that of James ist. it was between eleven and twelve. William Haughton's comedy, 'English- men for my money,' (printed in 1616, but written in 1598, as appears by Henslowe's Diary, p. 119), shows that merchants then attended Change at eleven o'clock, and dined at twelve. There is no other very distinct note of time in the ballad. The tune seems comparatively modern, as we do not find it in any early collection." The ballad has been included (with slight variations) in several collections: in "Cupid's Bee-hive," 1721 (See Cupid); in "The compleat fisher or the true art of angling, by J. S./' 6th ed., and more recently in " The Book of Roxburghe Ballads," 1847, edited by Mr. J. P. Collier, and in the publications of the " Ballad Society."] Recreator. The popular recreator.

The preceding edition has been followed but other songs accompany the ballad : " The milk-maid's song," " The milk-maid's mother's song," "Corydon's song " and " The new angler." The alleged rarity of this edition is without foundation. Copies are found in aliTios.t every sale catalogue of angling books. All the editions contain eight rude woodcuts of fish : those in the earlier and later editions being the same, while those in the 5th edition are from other blocks. We are not aware of any later edition of the book except that issued by Alexander Hogg in 1802 under the title of "The new and complete angler," by "Richard Pollard Esq. of Clapton." See Pollard (R.). We are reluctant to leave the authorship among the " mysteries of angling literature " without an attempt to solve the enigma. Premising that the little book is not a mere compi- lation but possesses a distmct individuality and character of its own, we may state that a short treatise on angling appeared in 1684 in a volume entitled " Profit and pleasure united, or the Gentleman's Magazine, by J. S.," which in a subsequent edition (1704) is attri- buted to "J. Smith, Gent." This "Art of angling" opens in a similar strain to " The true art " and contains sentences recording personal experiences in the preparation of the angler's equipment, which are nearly identical in both works. We have quoted one passage in our note to " Profit and pleasure," (see J. SMrrn), which, unless it be found in any antecedent writer, would lead us to believe that both treatises are by the same hand.] BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 1^5 S. (T. F.)

In one, after depicting the delight of a spring morning, the poet continues : " I shakt off sleepe, and tooke in hand a reede, A reede whereto was bounde a slender line, And crooked hooke, wherewyth, for my disport. Walking along the bankes of silver lakes, Oft times I vsed, with false deceiuing baytes. To pluck bright-scaled fish from christall waues.

According to his account, as the historian of his own exploits, he always meets with the finest fish ; and such is his infallible skill, that he always catches them. His exertions are equally fortunate when he pursues other diver- sions ; as a Venator and an Auceps ; for no hawks fly so high, no greyhounds run so swiftly, as his own. And I think it probable, that when you have perused all he has said of himself, you will be inclined to add to his fame, and declare, that no archer shoots with so long a bow !

Terentius Varro concerning agriculture. Translated by the Rev. T. Owen, m.a. Oxford, University Press, 1800. 8°. [ Book III, cap. xvii treats De piscinis, which are also mentioned in chapter iii of the same book. The extravagance of the age had led the Romans, in Varro's time, to despise the old fresh-water ponds of their forefathers and construct at a vast expense salt-water ponds, where sea-fish were preserved and nurtured. The taste of the period (not the manners let us hope,) is shown in an anecdote which Varro relates, in his usual lively style, of our Philippus, the owner of large sea-ponds, who, when a fine pike from the river was placed before him at the house of a friend, spit out the portion he had tasted, exclaiming " Peream ni piscem putavi esse." Famous ponds were also possessed by the Luculli and by Q. Hortensius. Varro says that the latter always sent out to buy fish for supper, and adds with a pun, you might more easily get his chariot mules out of their stables than mullets out of his pond. Varro's work is the best on Roman agriculture that has come down to us. It is in dialogue form and abounds with verbal pleasantries. " Sic hos pisces nemo cocus in BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 213 jus vocare audet," he remarks respecting the sacred fish in Lydia which gathered to the altar steps at the sound of a flute (Mr. Owen has missed this curious fact) and no one durst touch. There are German translations by G. Grosse, Halle, 1787-8. 8vo.; and by J. F. Mayer, Nurnberg, 1774 & 1781, 8vo. In Panckoucke's " Bibliotheque Latine- Fran^aise/' [1826, eic.l 8vo., there is a French version by X. Rousselot accompanying the original ; and another by F.

Conringius collected the treatises of several old writers on fish-ponds and fish and fishing, and printed them at Helmstadt in a quarto volume without collective title-page but with continuous register.

It contains the treatise of Dubravius " de piscinis ; " portions of Varro's third book ; chapters 54-56 of Pliny's ninth book; book twenty of the "Geoponika" of Cassianus Bassus ; excerpts from Crescentius and Heresbachius concerning fish-ponds, and the book on fishing from the latter's " Thereutices."] Vaughan (Henry) the Siltirist.

[ Gosden's reprint, of which a few copies were on larger paper, contains some very minute and finished engravings of fish, mounted in the text, sometimes to be had separately on one sheet. The first edition was advertised in the " Kingdom's Intelligencer" of Sept. 9th 1 66 1, as " now newly extant," and was no doubt issued in the Autumn of that year. The running title is "Angling improved or profit and pleasure united." As a manual the book deserves honorable mention. Col. Venables served in the Parlia- mentary Army and in 1644 was made Governor of Chester. He was sent with Penn in 1654 in command of the expedition for the conquest of Hispaniola, and on their return from that disastrous enterprise, the generals were imprisoned in the Tower. " It would seem/' observes Dr. Bethune in his edition of Walton, 1847, "that the brave, once most successful, but in the end unfortunate soldier, found consolation in angling and writing upon his quiet pleasures. It is impossible to read his book without being convinced that, whatever may have been his troubles, he was a wise and piously disposed man," J. W.[alton] has contributed a courtly commendation of the volume, addressed to his "ingenious friend the author," in which he states that he " could never find in [other books] that judgment and reason which you have manifested in this (as I may call it) Epitome of Angling, since m}^ reading whereof I cannot look upon some notes of my own gathering but methinks I do puerilia trac- tare."'] BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 215 Vermin.

[ Collation : a-r 3 in eights ; or pp. xvi. 246. The first sentence of the title is engraved on scroll, with dolphins above and below, and clusters of fish pendant on either side. Very neat engravings of the trout, pike, carp, tench, perch, and barbel are inserted in the text. The -engraver is unknown, but Pierre Lombart, a noted Frenchman then resident in this country and engaged in illustrating books, and also Faithorne and Vaughan are possible candidates for the honour. We know that the last mentioned was employed by Marriot on other work. These plates which are said, with little probability, to have been of silver, served for the first four editions, and were re-engraved in reverse, by a less artistic hand, for the fifth impression, a circumstance which has escaped notice. "The compleat angler" was published in the beginning of the month of May and the first trace of its existence is found in an advertisement on the last page (2716) of no. 179 of "The Perfect Diurnal... From Munday May 9 to Munday May 16, 1652," [1653]. There are five book advertisements, and one of the loss of two geldings, in this number. The second as follows : " The compleat angler, or the Contemplative fnaris Recreation, being a Dis- course of Fish and Fishing, not unworthy the perusal of most Anglers, of 18 pence price. Written by Iz. Wa. Also the known play of the Spanish Gipsee, never till now published. Both printed for Richard Marriot, to be sold at his shop in Saint Dunstans Church- yard, Fleet street." Another advertisement, beginning " There is 2i8 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. newly extant, a Book of i8d. price, called the Compleat angler, etc," is found at the foot of the last page (1470) of no. 154 of the " Mer- curius Politicus... From Thursday, May 19 to Thursday May 26, 1653-" The "Epistle dedicatory," addressed ''To the right worshipful John Offley of Madeley Manor in the County of Stafford, Esq." is signed " Iz. Wa.," and the author's name does not appear on the title-page before the edition of 1676. The commendatory verses in the second edition are, however, inscribed to "Mr. Izaak Walton." A fine and perfect copy of the first edition, estimated by Dr. Bethune in 1847 at twelve guineas, is now worth £so to £60, an enhancement of value in which the other editions have not parti- cipated. This advance will probably continue, for the number of collectors has increased and is increasing with whom the rule obtains, "aut Cajsar, aut nullus." A First Walton confers dis- tinction upon its owner. A Second is but a Second, though it may be rarer. If a copy be perfect, its condition somewhat affects its value, but an imperfect copy seeks a market in vain save at a low price. We forbear quoting auction prices. Copies rarely reach the auction room and the prices, at which they may have been occa- sionally sold there, afford no criterion of their true value.] The compleat angler or the contemplative man's recreation.

All the illustrations, with the exception of Cotton's Fishing House which is on wood, are engraved on copper or steel. They were also issued separately, in small folio form, as proofs on India paper. "The illustrators are Stothard and Inskipp, the former being charged with the scenic plates and the views of the localities, and the latter, principally, with the fish. The engravers are Fox, Cooke, Richardson and other eminent hands... The sentiment inspired by a cursory survey of [these volumes] is, no doubt, one of pleasure and admiration; but the after and more premanent impression results, we are pained to confess, in a sense of comparative failure. The book, sooth to say, is a pompous book, and with much that is overdone in it. We seek for our modest king-cups and pimpernels, and find these buried beneath a heap of learned and heterogeneous lumber. We turn the leaves over with a feeling of disproportion, a perception of incongruity and unfitness. Inskipp's fish, indeed, have all the force and freshness of nature, and rejoice the eye ; but Stothard's plates seem to us weak and silly, insignificant, as regards the size of the work in which they figure, and unworthy, alike, both of it and the artist... He was no angler, besides, and the fact betrays itself, as might be expected, in many minute but conclusive BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. 22^9 points...

"The obnoxious ' Introductory Essay '...still sticks to the work, like a burr; but with this our censure exhausts itself; in other respects the volume approaches more nearly to our ideal of an edition consistent in all its parts, than any of its predecessors or successors. Wale's designs, repeated ad nauseam, are here sup- pressed, and the new series by Absolon... quaint, unaffected and picturesque, have the signal merit of seeming an emanation from and efflorescence of the book itself, rather than a set of artistic notions grafted on it... The woodcuts of fish give the varying tones and surfaces with great success; and the vignettes of scenery, by Creswick and others, leave far behind those of former editions."

The Canterbury Tales, (circa 1475). " At Trompington, not fer fro Cantebrigge, Ther goth a brook, and over that a brigge.

"The Medwaies silver streames that wont so still to slide, Were troubled now and wrothe ; whose hidden hollow caves, Along his banks with fog then shrouded from mans eye, Ay Philip did resound, aie Phillip they did crie.

Epithalamion. ( 1595). "Ye Nymphes of Mulla, which with careful heed The silver scaly trouts do tend full well, And greedy pikes which use therein to feed ; ( Those trouts and pikes all others do excell ;) And ye, likewise, which keep the rusty lake, Where none doo fishes take ; Bynd up the locks the which hang scattered light.

Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever ; Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more." Brome (Alexander). Songs and other Poems. (1664). " On a Fisherman. A Fisher while he angled in a brook, A dead-mans skull by chance hung on his hook ; The pious man in pity did it take To bury it, a grave with 's hand did make ; And as he digg'd, found gold; Thus to good men, Good turns with good turns are repayM again." Newcastle ( Margaret, Duchess of) Poems and Fancies. (1653). " Poets have most pleasure in this Life.'" " Here doth the Poet hawk, hunt, run a Race, Until he weary grows, then leaves this Place, Then goes a Fishing to a River side. Whose waters cleare, where Fancy flows high Tide : Angles with wit, 'to catch the Fish of Fame, To feed his memory, and preserve his Name." Quarles. Shepheard^s Eclogues. ( 1644). " The broad-side bream, The wary trout that thrives against the stream ; The well-grown carp, full laden with her spawn ; The surest way To take the fish, is give her leave to play, And yield her line." Bastard (Thomas). The author of " Christoleros " (published in 1598, and reprinted in 1842 at the Beldornie Press), addresses two epigrams ad Henricum Wottonum, in one of which he says. *'Wotton, the country and the country swayne. How can they yield a poet any sense ? How can they stir him up, or heate his brain 1 How can they feede him with intelligence ?" And he recommends him therefore, to come to "■ London, Englande's fayrest eye." It is not very unlikely that their friendship was occasioned or confirmed by their mutual love of fishing, for in another epigram, De Piscatione, Bastard observes : — 368 BIBLIOTHECA PISCATORIA. " Fishing, if I, a fisher may protest, Of pleasures is the sweet'st, of sports the best, Of exercises the most excellent ; Of recreations the most innocent. But now the sport is marde, and wott ye why Fishes decrease, and fishers multiply." Collier's " Poetical Decameron," Vol. 2, p. 108. Sir John Stradling. " Divine Poems ^"^ (1625). "Like Birds for whom the Fowler spreads his net, And traynes them in with whistle and a stale : Or fish when bayted hookes old Anglers set, Which bitten, brings them soone vnto their bale. So that old Angler-for-mens-soules, some Wynnes With sweetned baytes, and some with subtle gynnes." Interlude of the Foiw Elements. (15 19). Anon. ExperieJis. " Within this twenty years, Westward be found new lands, * * * Fish they have so great plenty, That in havens take and slain they be With staves, withouten fail. Now Frenchmen and others have found the trade, That yearly of fish there they lade Above a hundred sail." Bunyan (John). "You see the ways the Fisherman doth take To catch the fish : what engines doth he make .'* Behold ! how he engageth all his wits : Also his snares, lines, angles, hooks and nets ; Yet fish there be, that neither hook nor line Nor snare, nor net, nor engine can make thine ; They must be grop'd for, and be tickled too. Or they will not be catch'd, whate'er you do."
