Excerpt from An Open Creel Fishing is very like the other pursuits of men, com pact of ill and good, the good being, as we think, not too lavishly bestowed on some of us. The season of any given angler (i except those prodigious fellows who never have a blank, who think in dozens and stones, and who cannot but come to a bad piscatorial end) is a calculable affair. Of the total number of his days, probably two-thirds will give him no results worth mentioning. Three-quarters of the rest will be of the type conveniently labelled as fair to middling. And there may be two or three days of really fine sport, days about which he at once writes articles. An article or so may be written about days of the second class, but about those of the first there is a grim silence. Hence the number of fish in a book on fishing. Francis Francis, I believe, once dryly remarked to an ecstatic angler who was eloquent upon the beauties of nature and the unimportance of slaughter that it doubtless was so, but he himself had noticed a kind of prejudice in favour of a brace of fish in the creel. He was quite right, of course. We all go out to catch fish. Circumstances make it harder for us to do so year by year; there are more of us, and waters are no more numerous, less rather, while fish grow daily more experienced. Therefore we probably do not expect to catch so much as did our fathers, and the sort of day which they would have regarded as middling is received by us in humble thankfulness as a glorious occasion. The standard of expectation is decidedly lower than it used to be.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Days in Clover My Clover-days have been only partially devoted to angling, but my many failures in the angling art, and my only occasional successes, still justify my claim and explain my adherence to the title Amateur Angler. Anglers who seeh for valuable and solid in formation, hints, or theories on the gentle art of angling, will find them in abundance elsewhere they must not look for them here the Amateur Angler can teach them nothing.

Excerpt from Eben Holden's Last Day a-Fishing Always, when our train went roaring into the quiet village, we used to look out of the car-window down across the river and a smooth stretch of fields into the edge of the little town. At a small, familiar opening in the shade trees, almost half a mile from the train, we never failed to see the flicker of a white handkerchief. It signalled their welcome. And then-well, I doubtif any one may have in this world a better moment. Yes - that was years ago, and there are strangers in the old home, but to this day every time I enter Hillsborough I look for that flick er of white, away off among the trees. That day the signal greeted us, and was only one of many joys, for it was a day of a thousand, warm, and full of the music of birds and of bees' wings and the odor of new blossoms and a great happiness. Elizabeth Brower stood at the gate, and beyond her we could see Uncle Eb on the veranda, sitting in his arm-chair. The clear woman put her fingers on her lips, and we knew what it meant. Uncle Eb had fallen asleep in the warm sunlight. We greeted her with hushed voices, and approached the venerable man, and sat down at his feet, smilingand looking up at his fine old face. He continued to sleep, all unconscious that we were near him. Soon we heard him call in his dreams, just above a whisper: Here Fred! Here Fred! It was the name of our old dog, dead these many years. His nap must have taken him far back - per haps into that long, westward journey through woods and fields. I took his hand in mine. He came out of his dreams with a start, and looked up at me.

Excerpt from Days and Nights of Salmon Fishing I will write a sort of a Book on Fishing, said I to my friend Mr. Lobworm; when a fresh breeze from the gentle south swept over the meadows, stealing and giving odours, and reminded me of the many calm and pleasant hours I had spent by the margin of some crystal stream.

Excerpt from The Complete Angler, or Contemplative Man's Recreation: Being a Discourse of Rivers, Fish-Ponds, Fish, and Fishing; In Two Parts While he continued in London, his favourite recrea tion was angling, in which he was the greatest profi cient of his time; and indeed so great were his skill and experience in that art t t there is scarce an writer on the subject since his time, who has not the rules and practice of Walton his very foundation. It is therefore with the greatest propriety, that Lan haine calls him, the common father of all anglers g.
