Item description from seller

vii[1) - 296pp, all edges gilt tittle page printed in red and black, engraved frontis of two anglers fishing + plate depicting 12 fish, circa 19th century angling bookplate of John Wilson to the front paste down, some light spotting to inner blanks. Bound in a later full dark red morroco with unusual gilt vignette to the upper cover of a man astride a fish in river scene with angling bag with initials of J.W. on the bag. To rear cover gilt vignette of a mermaid with hook and line seated on a shell. Some darkening to the board edges. A detailed early guide to angling, "Generally attributed to Robert Howlett. It would have had greater merit on the sore of originality had it preceded Chetham's Vade Mecum, to which it bears a somewhat close resemblance." W.S 110/111.
