Excerpt from Literature of Sea and River Fishing Though this handbook far exceeds in length all the other members of that large family to which the Fisheries Exhibition has given birth, it cannot pretend to traverse thoroughly all the ground indicated by its title. The Literature of Sea and River Fishing is so extensive, that within the present compass only a comparatively brief survey can be essayed; and this must be mainly confined to the literary productions of our own country. Even the names of many English authors must necessarily be omitted, and the chief of them only find a place. Necessarily, too, the literature of Freshwater Fishing will take up by far the greater portion of the space at command, as books on Sea Fishing are limited in number, and generally speaking of a purely technical or commercial character. Criticism has not been indulged in to any great degree in the following pages, as the handbook is principally intended to be a work of "reference," and something in the way of a "guide" to those who may desire to form a general idea of the extent and character of our angling literature.

Excerpt from Sea-Fishing on the English Coast Part I. Most of all needs apology to existing writers on the subject: that apology must lie in the impossibility of omitting it, although containing but little that has not already been written. Part II. Is, I believe, on an original plan, as most writers deal very sparingly with the subject of Season. Part III., though little more than a compilation of personal experiences and letters, is undoubtedly the most useful in the book. I can only regret the sadly deficient results of my work in this direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Some Fish and Some Fishing Knowing that the period of a man's hard-riding days is limited, I prepared for the inevitable some years since by making a pastime of sea-fishing. I have fished for most fish that swim in the American waters, both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. The fish that interests me the most is the tarpon (megalops atlanticus). I have fished for the tarpon in Florida waters every month in the year excepting in midsummer, all along the Gulf Of Mexico as far as Aransas Pass, and in the Panuco River at Tampico, Mexico. I have also fished around the coast Of Cuba and the Isle of Pines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sea Fish and How to Catch Them It is my intention, in this little work, to deal principally with the modes of fishing usually practised on our own coast, and the description of tackle and baits which will be found most useful to those who visit the sea-side on health and pleasure-seeking expeditions. I shall also give a few hints and directions as to the best description of outfit for those going abroad. Many of the remarks which I shall have to make will apply' to the mouths of large tidal rivers, as many sea-fish at times visit such localities. Trusting that my readers may spend as many agreeable hours in search of old ocean treasures as I have. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
