Excerpt from Life-History and Habits of the Salmon, Sea-Trout, Trout, and Other Freshwater Fish
When I published the first edition of this work, less than two years ago, little did I think the publishers would call upon me to issue a second within so Short a period. It is most gratifying, indeed, to me to know that my endeavours to give reliable information about the life-history Of the Salmon have been so well received. The press notices and the private letters I have received from all parts of the world have greatly cheered and encouraged me in this work, and I take this opportunity of thanking all for their favourable comments. During last year I devoted what spare time I had to the study of scales from fish which had returned a second time from the sea, the results of which are embodied in this edition.
