Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A True Treatise on the Art of Fly-Fishing, Trolling: As Practised on the Dove, and on the Principal Streams of the Midland Counties, Applicable to Every Trout and Grayling River in the Empire
The treatise, comprised in the follow ing sheets, has been long and loudly called for. When I make this assertion, I do not mean to censure by any criticism it may at first sight seem to imply, fthe labours of other writers on the same'subl jcet. I merely state a fact. That fact must be an apology for my assuming? In the face of the public the superiority - 1 certainly not on a matter of vital impor tance to society - that is supposed to' attach to the character of authors. T o' prove the fact, I shall write that which every body in the neighbourhood knows to be a true story.
