London. Longman, Brown, Green, & Longmans. 1849. First Edition. Duodecimo (7 1/2 x 5). [ix], 157 pp. plus 32 pp. publisher's catalogue. Hand colored frontispiece showing artificial flies and baits. Complete with nine hand colored plates of trout and salmon flies, and baits. The color plates are quite attractive and rendered in handsome, bright colors. The book is divided into five parts: Minnows and Water-Witches - Grasshopper, Cabbage, and other Grubs - Beetles - Fancy Flies - Moths - Salmon Fishing, etc. Westwood & Satchell said Wheatley's book was "characterized by a mixture of caustic humour and sound practical knowledge." The List of Plates calls for a colored plate facing p. 57. In no copies I have examined is that statement correct. The book is bound in the original olive-brown blind-stamped cloth with gilt titles on the spine. There is wear to the spine ends, and an armorial bookplate and name on the front pastedown. A good-very good book.

If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency. Overseas shipments are charged at cost. Other shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
