First edition. Tall 12mo (7 3/4 x 4 5/8 inches). xi, 316 pp. 10 plates of fish and tackle. Extra-illustrated with six additional angling related plates from other sources, two hand-colored. Westwood & Satchell, p. 241: "Essentially original." Heckscher 2274 (calling for 10 plates, as here). W&S call for 18 plates, apparently in error, as all copies we have checked have ten. With the major defect noted below and scattered foxing, still a good solid copy. Somewhat later diced calf (extremities rubbed), boards from with gilt ornamental scrolls, rebacked, the new spine with gilt angling devices and title between raised bands (top inch chipped away), marbled endpapers and edges. (8833).
