London, 1683.

This beautiful old English pastoral was edited, and the preface written, by Isaac Walton. The above has a long and interesting MS. note with reference to the controversy as to who was the author, by Mr. Westwood.

For a full account of this volume see the Retrospective Review, iv. 203-49, Beloe's Anecdotes, i. 6974, who says, "This is a book of excessive rarity;" also Mr. Collier's Bibliographical Catalogue, i. 116-18, where it is stated that Spenser's Christian name is usually printed Edward in this book, but in this copy it is correctly given Edmund. Walton has introduced two songs written by this author in his "Complete Angler," one beginning

the other

"Oh! the sweet contentment

The countryman doth find;"

"Oh! the gallant Fisher's Life,

It is the best of any;

'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,
And 'tis beloved by many."

"Cheetham'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 surly."-T. W.

Mr. Westwood thus speaks of the original:-"This MS. (now in the possession of Mr. Heseltine) figured in the sale catalogue of the Rev. Henry Cotton, 1836, and was set forth as the Original and unpublished manuscript of the Author, who was a relation of Chas. Cotton's.' To such a claim, however, it has no right, being clearly modern, both as regards the paper and handwriting. That it may be a copy from an older Ms. is possible; it is at best, however, but a mere collection of recipes for baits, extracted from the different (antecedent) published works on the sport."-BIB.

"A book which, though of recent date, is almost as rare as the Gryndalls and Mascalls of blackletter times. It was printed anonymously, and for private circulation, and but a very few copies were struck of. It is partly historical and practical, partly legendary and poetical, and the illustra tions, which are numerous, consist of admirable etchings, woodcuts, designs colored by hand, &c. It is one of the most original works of its class."-T. WESTWOOD.

The present copy has no imprint. Though in his "Bibliotheca Piscatoria" Mr. Westwood cites the following: "Imprynted by ande for ye Authore, dwellyng nigh unto ye riuere Coquet yn Northumberlande, thysse yere o thyncarnacon of our Lorde, MDCCCXXXXXVIIII."

The work bears evidence of the handiwork of Mr. Jos. Crahawl.
