Footnotes

Includes the fifth edition of Walton's Compleat Angler, and the first edition of Cotton's work. The Universal Angler was published with a third part, by Robert Venables, not included in this copy, but as stated on the general title-page the work could be had "bound together, or sold each of them severally". This copy has the engraved title to Walton, but not the letterpress title and yet is apparently as issued.
