ERRATA.

Page 125, "Wrus" should be "Wrass."

Page 190, last paragraph beginning "I had enough," and ending, "good sport in taking perch," should come in page 193, after rights of the Church," and immediately before "Perch are a very voracious fish."

Wherever the name of "Sir Francis Chantry" is mentioned, read " Chantrey."

ADDRESS TO ANGLERS.

DURING a great number of years I have been in the constant practice of entering in abook the result of my own observations, or authentic facts gleaned from sources which could be depended upon, and worthy of being remembered, relative to Angling, in all its branches; and I hope I shall be rendering an acceptable service to those fond of the recreation, by giving my Memoranda to the admirers of that fascinating and health-inspiring amusement. Should my experience assist any worthy brother of the angle to increase his sport or amuse him at seasons when he cannot enjoy the reality, I shall feel myself amply repaid.

THE AUTHOR.
