The Rod in India: Being Hints How to Obtain Sport, With Remarks on the Natural History of Fish, Their Culture, and Value; And Illustrations of Fish and Tackle (Classic Reprint)

To theS econd Edition. Tins Second Edition is nearly half of it a new book. In my First Edition I sought the co-operation of brother anglers. Kindly have they responded, some direct to myself, some through the medium of the Press Many told me things that I had learnt myself in the interim: such matter is introduced afresh in this edition as my own, as it none the less is ;but I thank correspondents all the same. Some told me things I did not know: such matter, wherever it appears, is honestly acknowledged by name or initial, both that the reader may know who is the authority for it, where I am at liberty to quote the full name, and also that he may recognize the advantage of the kindliness. All such communications as have been made direct to myself, and consequently appear for the first time in print, have been printed in the same type as my own matter. Such communications as have come to me through the Press, even though it may be kindly stated in them that they were penned in answer to my invitation, are, as extracts, printed in smaller type; partly to distinguish them from what is quite new, and partly to my book from becoming unwieldy, not in any way to imply less value. Of these last communications I have had to clip some not a little because they repeated what was to be found elsewhere in the book.
