Excerpt from The Art of Fishing on the Principle of Avoiding Cruelty A friendship of not less than sixty years, and that friendship uninterrupted, we have experienced through boyhood and manhood, companions in recreation and toil, the former more especially in our favourite amusement of "fishing, " when in early life we passed our school-boy days, forgetful, I fear, that those hours were intended, not to teach the young idea how to fish, but how to shoot. Our recreation, let me believe, however, was not a vicious one, - for the good old Izaak Walton tells us that Angling is an art worthy the knowledge and practice of a wise man, and that contemplation and action belong to this honest, ingenuous, quiet, and harmless art of Angling.
