Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Quarter vellum printed in black, batik paper-covered boards, thick 4to., 367 pages, 16 mounted wood engravings of fish and birds on India paper, captioned tissue guards. One of 100 numbered copies printed in a larger format than the trade edition on handmade paper and bound thus. This copy formerly belonged to Elmer Adler, with his attractive small signature and the date at the top of the pastedown, with a faint small "withdrawn" stamp and "dupl" annotation in pencil. It is lacking the additional signed engraving, which we like to think went with Adler to serve as a specimen in his legendary seminars at Princeton. The spine is moderately but not offensively spotted, the board edges and tips show wear, overall a very good copy with the plates and pages clean and fresh, in archival mylar.

THE SECOND MOSES BROWNE EDITION PRINTED IN 1754 AND CONTAINING TWENTY EIGHT PAGES MORE THAN THE FIRST, NOW RARE IN COMMERCE. THIS COPY IN A CONTEMPORARY BINDING. A beloved classic of the English language and what many call the finest "How-To" book ever written; Walton's ANGLER has been described as "full of wisdom, kindly humour, and charity; it is one of the most delightful and care-dispelling books in the language." "More than most authors he lives in his writings, which are the pure expression of a kind, humorous and pious soul in love with nature, while the expression itself is unique for apparent simplicity which is really elaborately studied art" (DNB). After the 1676 edition of The Compleat Angler (the last Walton published before his death in 1683), no new editions of The Compleat Angler were published for almost one hundred years. Moses Browne, editor of the 1750 edition, and John Hawkins, editor of the 1760 edition, were likely both influenced to publish new editions of the Angler by Dr. Samuel Johnson, the famous literary master. Browne produced a second edition of his version in 1759, leading to a dispute with Hawkins, whose 1760 version was already being printed at the time. Each editor boasted that their version was the only correct one, and Browne accused Hawkins of copying images and biographical information from his earlier version. Despite this controversy, the 18th century editions introduced new context for the work in a new century, as well as contemporary illustrations, indicating the beginning of a revival for The Compleat Angler.
