Excerpt from Travel and Trout in the Antipodes: An Angler's Sketches in Tasmania and New Zealand
With the exception of two chapters, portions of which have appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine, these sketches will, I believe, be new to English readers, though they are to some extent enlarged and rearranged from Notes from Tasmania published in The Week, and from Notes from New Zealand published in the Queens.
