Excerpt from Salmonia, or Days of Fly-Fishing; In a Series of Conversations: With Some Account of the Habits of Fishes Belonging to the Genus Salmo, Consolation in Travel, or the Last Days of a Philosopher These pages formed the occupation of the Author during some months Of severe and dangerous illness, when he was wholly incapable of attending to more useful studies, or of following more serious pursuits.' They constituted his amusement in many hours, which otherwise would have been unoccupied and tedious; and they are published in the hope that they may possess an interest for those persons who derive pleasure from the simplest and most attainable kind Of rural sports, and who practise the art, or patronize the Objects of contemplation, Of the Philosophical Angler. The conversational manner and discursive style were chosen as best suited to the state Of health of the Author, who was incapable of considerable efforts and long-continued attention; and he could not but have in mind a model, which has fully proved the utility and popularity Of this method of treating the subject The Complete Angler, by Walton and Cotton.
