Old Clocks for Modern Use with a Guide to Their Mechanism

This vintage work contain a comprehensive guide to all the fishes of Great Britain. Its object is to aid in the identification of species of fish native to Great Britain, whether sea-water, fresh-water, or estuarine. The chapters include a long index of local names, a systematic table of all the species, and a series of keys to the sub-classes, orders, families, genera, species, and noteworthy varieties, arranged in such a way that the task of finding out the fish can begin at any point. This volume will prove invaluable to the angler and novice ichthyologist, and it makes for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. This volume was first published in 1901, and is being republished now with a specially commissioned new introduction.
