The Angler's Manual; or, Concise Lessons of Experience, which the proficient in the delightful recreation of angling will not despise

Howitt, Samuel. First edition. With twelve plates designed and etched by S. Howitt, signed in the plate 28 pp. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo (6 x 8 in.). Westwood & Satchell's comment, "The etchings good, the text trivial" is not unjustified--the text is more general than useful--but it would be hard for any writing to upstage Howitt's charming images. This book, rebound, brought a high $15 at the Heckscher sale in 1909. Westwood & Satchell, p.10; Heckscher 1055 Original printed boards, uncut, the upper cover reproducing the title page. Some wear to boards at spine, some marginal soiling, but overall a pleasing, near-fine copy. Preserved in a brown cloth folding box With twelve plates designed and etched by S. Howitt, signed in the plate 28 pp. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo (6 x 8 in.).
