 curiosities and secrets that never were in print in any book of angling what- 
 ever." It has a title-page with the reverse blank, and pages 1-138. Page I 
 is headed " The Young Angler's Delight and Instructor," and as the signa- 
 ture is A, 4, it is probable that one or two leaves of preliminary matter are 
 wanting. Part II. begins on page 97 ; page 127 is headed " Curiosities," the 
 first of which is "To make sport with a Pike or Jack," and another (p. 132), 
 "An Angler's Directions to preserve Orchards," which consists in raising a 
 smoke with " mucky straw " when the wind is easterly, so that it " may be 
 carried over the whole orchard." This is an avowed excerpt from the " Epit. 
 Husb., p. 38." The book is very rare, and no trace of it is found in any 
 collector's or other catalogue. [T. S.]

 A translation of " De Vetula " by Richard de Fournival ; a Latin poem 
 of the fourteenth century. The passage treating of fishing is headed, 
 "Comment Ovide tendait aux Poissons." 
 
 "Ovid appears to have been rather universal in his fishing. He took 
 tribute from sea and river, and despised neither conger eel nor 'logger- 
 headed ' chub. De Fournival's work cannot but be interesting to the angling 
 bibliophile, as showing that more than four hundred years ago most of the 
 modern modes of fishing were practised : bottom fishing, for instance ; the 
 worm, the fly, the torch and spear, the night-line, the eel basket and fork, 
 &c., &c." T. Westwood.

 With all its defects, this early specimen of Ichthyology has great and even 
 extraordinary merit in the excellency of the woodcuts copiously introduced 
 in its pages. They are bold and accurate, and in general so characteristic 
 that nearly all the species may at once be identified. Sv

 in his Diary he states: "This day Mr. Caesar told me a pretty experiment

 swelling, and is beyond any hair for strength and smallness. The secret I 
 like mightily." T. Westwood,
