London, George Routledge & Sons, 1913 8vo. Original blue cloth, titled in gilt to upper cover and spine; pp. xiv; [2] 416; a little worn, with some interior creasing and past ownership inscription from '1921'. First edition. Halford himself was considered an expert and one of the few authorities on the subject, having an extensive background in the field. In this collection, he endeavours to promise the reader a "full and complete treatise" on the dry-fly. This collection, which includes two volumes, sets out to cover the entire subject- both the fishing and the entomology as well as the management, patterns and latest manipulations of the practice.
