Excerpt from A Caution to Anglers: Or 'the Practical Angler', And 'the Modern Practical Amgler' Compared That Mr. Pennell should write a book, whether he had any information to impart or not, is a matter of which no one can complain. That he should call that book, however, by a title so similar to mine, my publishers complained of to his, and requested them to alter it, as the similarity or title might lead to purchasers getting the one book when they wished the other. As they declined to do this, and I am afraid that, in spite of the discovery of a previous Practical Angler, any confusion in this way might be chiefly detrimental to The Practical Angler which goes by my name, I publish this pamphlet - portions of which have already appeared in the Field - to show that the similarity is almost entirely confined to the title, and that no two systems of fly-fishing could be more different than those advocated in The Practical Angler, and The Modern Practical Angler.
