Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of Fish and Fishing In this age of improvement, even our sports are wont to be offered to us with a philosophic halo around them. Walton, long ago, made Angling a medium for inculcating the most fervent piety and the purest morality. Nor can the finny tribes themselves fail to excite in our minds surprise and admiration, whether we consider the singularities of their construction, the diversity of their forms, or their vast im portance to man. On these interesting subjects the author has confined himself to a few cursory remarks in his introductory chapter, and to the small gleanings from the labours of Cuvier and Roget, which commence his piscatorial reminis cences. Fearful of wading beyond his depth, he has principally directed his attention to such anecdotes, and facts, as he trusts will prove acceptable to the public in general and to Anglers in particular.

It goes with out saying, however, that considered as a sport, fishing for these jumbos is highly exciting and capable of infusing unbounded enthusiasm, but it can hardly be called anghng.

Continued there for seven years when I returned to Lynn and re-entered the printing business for five years, when I came to California. I have been deputy assessor for 8 years. One year I went down to San Pedro for a few days. I was fishing off the coast of Catalina for tuna. I got a bite from a large one that pulled me overboard. I was swallowed by a whale. It was a female whale; she took a notion to me and invited me to stop a few days. I took a room up close to her left eye Where it was light and I could look out and see the stars in the night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of Fish and Fishing A Preface has been so long the customary method of an author introducing himself to his readers, that it has become almost a breach of good manners to obtrude on the public notice without it. Cap in hand, then, his first prefatory remark is, that the Piscatory collection which follows, was commenced by him very many years ago, solely for his own amusement, and was so continued, until it became of such magnitude as to, awaken a thought that these high-way and by-way gatherings might also prove not altogether unacceptable to the public in general, but more particularly to the gentle brothers of the craft. From boyhood to his present decline in the vale of years, the author has been a practical Angler, as well as a diligent collector of whatever fell in his way that was in any degree connected with his favourite amusement. And if he cannot boast of offering much that is original, he may at least claim something on the score of industry, in letting nothing escape unnoticed that came before him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishes I Have Known The subject of fish and fishing has always been of such interest, particularly to inhabitants of sea girt lands, that this book (professedly non technical) recording my experience of the life and habits of fishes, and the various modes of capturing them in Great Britain and elsewhere, does not, I think, require much justification for its existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Fish and Some Fishing Knowing that the period of a man's hard-riding days is limited, I prepared for the inevitable some years since by making a pastime of sea-fishing. I have fished for most fish that swim in the American waters, both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. The fish that interests me the most is the tarpon (megalops atlanticus). I have fished for the tarpon in Florida waters every month in the year excepting in midsummer, all along the Gulf Of Mexico as far as Aransas Pass, and in the Panuco River at Tampico, Mexico. I have also fished around the coast Of Cuba and the Isle of Pines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
