Excerpt from Angling Days and an Angler's BooksThese sketches, which originally appeared in T he Angler, were reprinted in the hope that they might prove interesting to other brethren of the craft. They are now reissued in a cheaper and more accessible shape in the belief that a wider circle of readers will be reached. The writer is by no means accomplished in the gentle art, but has derived immense benefit, like many others, in the intervals of a busy life, as well as in seasons of physical weakness, from this innocent and restful pursuit. To keep life wholesome, every man should have a hobby and what Walton called the contempla tive man's recreation is also an excellent relief to busy, overtaxed men. Lovers of reading will not complain of the extracts from the writer's favourite books. The illustrations are from photos taken by Mr. T. Bramwell, Alston, Cumberland.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
