He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

The contrast in the course of the two men at that critical juncture was equally striking. In fact, each reversed his own position, but each in the opposite direction from the other, and so radically as to pre sent a startling illustration Of the changes the human mind under goes as influenced by the Circumstances of one's environment. Addressing the Georgia Legislature, Mr. Stephens argued at great length, and with Stirring eloquence, to the effect that the people Of the South would not be justified in seceding from the Union because of the election of Mr. Lincoln; and again before the Secession Convention at Milledgeville, in January, I 86 I, he protested with great vehemence against the threatened secession. Yet in a few weeks afterward he was addressing large assemblies in precisely the opposite strain, as for instance in these words We fight for our homes, our fathers and mothers, our wives, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and neighbors; they (the Northerners), for money. The hirelings and mercenaries of the North are all hand to hand against you. As I told you when I addressed you a few days ago, Lincoln may bring his soldiers against us; but seven times men can never conquer us.

In no record of that eventful period do we find a clearer or more truthful presentation of the underlying principle of the so-called Confederacy, or of the alleged provocation to the unrighteous rebellion, than in the speech of that misguided but master-mind of the South, Alexander H. Stephens, in which he frankly declared as follows: "The new constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions - African slavery as it exists among us - the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization." This, he added, was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Then, in reviewing and criticising the anti-slavery views of Jefferson, he said: "The prevailing ideas entertained by him, and by most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, morally and politically. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
