Excerpt from Stray Notes on Fishing and Natural History
The following Notes were, with but few exceptions, written originally without any view to publication, being merely jottings of matters from time to time occurring to my notice, recollections of which I wished to preserve for my own amusement. When it was afterwards suggested to me that some leisure hours might be employed in rendering them presentable to others, I thought it better - while it was certainly easier - to leave them generally as they had grown up under my hand, rather than to attempt a more connected arrangement, or even to reduce them to anything like order. This I trust will be considered a sufficient excuse for the abrupt and desultory form in which they are now offered to the Public.
