Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scientific Angler: Being a General and Instructive Work on Artistic Angling
In printing the following pages it has been the especial endeavour of the compilers to present the instructive and practical element as vividly as was consistent with the author's MS. notes - of which a considerable portion, containing original and important matter, still remains.
In a comparatively limited space every branch of the "gentle art" has been touched upon, though by no means exhaustively dealt with in this, the first issue.
The reputation of the author as an authority upon this national recreation stands unprecedented, and it is felt that a much larger volume would scarcely do justice to the mass of manuscript, wherein is chronicled the researches and experience gained by a long life of patient study and intense application.
The compilers here express their gratification at the amount of interest evinced by considerable portion of the piscatorial public, who, whilst the work has been in preparation, have bespoken so many copies, as to establish almost a complete success for the present edition before its publication. In subsequent issues it is intended to enlarge the work.

About the Author
David Foster is a 15-time Grammy Award winning composer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer whose career began in the early 1970s, with the group Skylark. He then went on to become one of the most sought-after session players in the business, working alongside such musical legends as Barbra Streisand, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, and many more. In 1990, Foster met Celine Dion in Quebec, singing under a tent in the rain, and shortly thereafter he introduced her to American audiences. A few years later, he was recruited by Atlantic Records, paving the way for the creation of his own successful label, 143 Records, and in the years since he has discovered a roster of diverse and exceptional talents, including, most recently, Josh Groban and Michael Buble. In addition to his work in the music business, Foster spends much of his time raising money for charity.
