Excerpt from The Book of the All-Round Angler: A Comprehensive Treatise on Angling in Both Fresh and Salt Water The information given in the following pages is based, for the most part, on experience. Very few of the methods described have not been carefully tried by me at some time or another. When I have had to borrow from the works of other writers I have duly acknowledged my indebtedness. I must take this opportunity to thank several friends - specialists, I may term them, in various branches of Angling - for giving me the benefit of their criticisms. I am particularly indebted to Mr. William Senior, Angling Editor of The Field, for the introductory pages, which contain a graphic description of the delights attending the favourite pastime of an all-round fisherman. This is, I believe, the only book which contains an account of all, or nearly all, the known methods, old and new, of catching fresh and salt-water fish with rod and line. Wittingly I have omitted none. Of course, with so many branches of angling to describe, none can be very exhaustively considered. At the same time, I have treated pike-fishing and bottom-fishing as fully as has yet been done; while Division IV. contains information on angling in salt water far in excess of anything hitherto published.
