Morning Post.—"Few books on any sport, and perhaps none on fishing, have ever deserved better the description 'thorough.' To its title-page might well have been added the motto of the Royal Agricultural Society, 'Science with Practice,' and to the title itself, 'The Angler's Encyclopædia.' From Cornwall to John o' Groats, from Wales to Norway, from Florida to India and Burma—here you may find what there is to be caught and how to catch it. And no detail seems to have been overlooked. Localities, baits, tackle, choice of rods, methods of casting, likely times—all are fully covered by experts who write from long experience, and not because they spend odd days of the week going a-fishing and resolved to write a book about it.... The book is profusely, delightfully, and usefully illustrated. The salmon flies are excellent, and so are the prints showing right and wrong methods of casting, bringing in a fish, and gaffing.... 'Fishing' has fully achieved its stated object of providing such information as may make a man an intelligent and a successful angler if he has an average brain and a love for craft."
