Excerpt from British Fish and Fisheries The use of fish as an article of food is of remote antiquity. The Israelites, in their journey through the wilderness, when pressed by scarcity of provisions, exclaimed, "We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt freely, the cucumbers and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;" and it is recorded, that among the plagues brought upon the Egyptians by Moses and Aaron, at the command of God, one was the turning of the water of the river Nile into blood, and the consequent destruction of the fish, Exod. vii. 19-21.

Excerpt from British Fresh Water Fishes It only remains for me to express my thanks to those gentlemen who have rendered me assistance in procuring specimens, or otherwise helping me. I must especially thank Dr. A. Gunther, of the British Museum - the highest living ichthyological authority* - for permission to make use of the Plates in T lze Proceedings of me Zoological Socz'efy of London, (1862, 1863, illustrating his papers on the British species of Charr; I have also to thank the Council of that Society for granting me the same permission. I have been fortunate enough to see and handle all the British Charrs, and specimens of all the species have been before the artist engaged in this work, but the Plates above named were found most useful in giving the characteristic colouration which specimens some days out of the water, or specimens preserved in spirits, almost invariably lose. I have also, through the kindness of Dr. Gunther, had opportunities of examining specimens of various fish in the British Museum; and the artist has been able to take figures of some species which are either rare, or which I failed to procure for myself.

Excerpt from The English Lake District Fisheries MV apology for offering this work to the public is that the Editors of the Angler's Library have kindly asked me to write it; and because all my life I have been specially interested in the F isheries of the Lake District. This magnificent system of lakes, tarns, and rivers, now constitute fisheries mainly in a potential sense only; for there is not the slightest comparison between the sport or food supply they yield to-day with what they might and will - yield in the not distant future. A few years ago fish-culture and the management of fisheries were in their infancy but of late the knowledge of the subject has made enormous strides. Once the results of systematic te-stocking are seen, the cul tivation of water will be looked upon far differently to what it is to-day. There is probably no like area in the whole of Great Britain which has so many natural advantages in this respect as the English Lake District, but as yet these advantages have been but little realised.

Excerpt from British Salt-Water Fishes On the question of our fisheries the author has dealt in another work, and it has here been thought proper to devote only a single chapter to the methods by which sea fish are caught for the market. That done, they are no longer the concern of the biologist, for the problems of their transport inland then occupy the legislator on other grounds.

Excerpt from Supplement to Frank Forester's Fish and Fishing of the United States British Provinces of North America I have therefore judged it best to throw what new information I have gained, into the form of a Supplement; embodying therein the correction of all erroneous Opinions which, through want of informa tion, or misinformation, I have fallen into; and adding farther instruo tions with regard to the implements, and the art of angling.

Excerpt from The Freshwater Fishes of the British Isles However, there are few species that do not interest the disciple of Walton, who captures the larger fish for sport and the smaller ones for bait, and it is to a large extent for the angler that this book has been written, although it is not a book about angling. It is an attempt to present in popular form the distinctive characters of our fresh water fishes, and to give a reliable account of the main features of their life-history. I believe that it will be found that this work is more complete than any of its kind that has yet appeared, for the different forms of Char and Whitefish receive detailed treatment, and natural hybrids are also included. In these groups I have been able to examine much larger series of specimens than have hitherto been available, thanks to the kindness of a number of correspondents who have sent me Char, Powan, Pollan, Cyprinoid hybrids, etc., and during the last few years I have described several new forms of considerable interest.
