Item description from seller

The first edition of this illustrated guide to Scottish angling by Thomas Tod Stoddart, in the very scarce original cloth. His chief publication. First edition.Recased, with the very scarce original cloth laid down.Illustrated with a frontispiece, one colour plate 'Tweed Flies' and numerous vignettes. Collated, lacking folding map of Scotland.Thomas Tod Stoddart was a Scottish angler, poet and lawyer who gave up the latter career to for writing and recreation. He lived on the river Tweed, publishing works such as this Companion and advocated for the protection of the fish and rivers.Stoddart's guide to angling offers commentaries on a variety of species, foods and habits, materials required, water insects, how to bait, directions for boiling fish, and the various angling stations of Scotland's rivers.With a small roll of fishing wire loosely inserted; a charming indication of the previous owner's use of the book. Recased, with the original cloth for the boards and spine laid down. Externally, with minor loss to the original cloth to the spine head and tail. Fading to the spine and a small ink spot to the front board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean, with the odd spot, heavier to the first and last few pages. Very Good.
