“This book is to be prized, if only because of its text. But this is by no means its sole, we might say, its chief attraction. M. Uzanne has had the assistance of M. Paul Avril as illustrator, and that artist has prepared many designs of singular beauty and gracefulness. It would be difficult to speak too highly of them; they have a piquancy and grace which is in the highest degree attractive. It is one of the prettiest and most attractive volumes we have seen for many a day.”

“Messrs. Nimmo & Bain, who seem resolved to take a leading place in the production of attractive volumes, have now issued a beautiful edition of Walton & Cotton’s ‘Angler.’ The paper and printing leave nothing to be desired, and the binding is very tasteful.”
