“Disappointing in effect. The author saddles a plot of undoubted interest and merit with principals of a featureless type.”

JENKINS, J. T.[[2]] Sea fisheries. il *$10 Dutton 639.2
“A copiously-illustrated volume, the author of which is professionally associated with the Lancashire and Western sea fisheries joint committee. Dr Jenkins describes from personal knowledge the mystery of the fishers’ craft. An account is given of the methods of fishing adopted in the North sea, and the narrative deals with the rise of the herring fisheries, as well as with the development of steam trawling. Public fisheries for shellfish are described: and an important chapter deals with individual fish, such as the sole, plaice, haddock, and herring. Foreign and colonial fisheries are considered in the last chapter.”—Ath

“This is rather a Gradgrindian book for a compatriot of Charles Dickens to have written. It is full of useful statistics and little else. His photographs carry more of the romance of the sea than his text.”

“We strongly commend Dr Jenkins’s scientific and instructive book to the consideration of all who wish to understand the urgent problem of utilizing the harvest of the sea to the best advantage, though its more controversial parts are no doubt open to discussion.”
